Price Context

2026-03-20 to 2026-06-26

Squeeze Radar

25

Elevated short interest becomes most interesting when price strength forces shorts to defend or cover.

Bearish Conviction

15

Rising short interest alongside weak trend can mean the bearish trade is being reinforced, not trapped.

Crowding

22

Latest short interest is 2.2M shares and days to cover is 2.22.

Divergence

34

Short interest fell while price fell. Shorts are covering despite weak price action, which can suggest the easy bearish pressure may be fading.
