Squeeze Radar

41

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

Bearish Conviction

48

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

Crowding

61

Latest short interest is 42.0M shares and days to cover is 1.07.

Divergence

38

Short interest rose while price rose. Bearish positioning is adding into strength, which can create squeeze pressure if the chart keeps improving.
