27Elevated short interest becomes most interesting when price strength forces shorts to defend or cover.
Bearish Conviction
41Rising short interest alongside weak trend can mean the bearish trade is being reinforced, not trapped.
Crowding
54Latest short interest is 1.5M shares and days to cover is 8.04.
Divergence
29Short interest fell while price fell. Shorts are covering despite weak price action, which can suggest the easy bearish pressure may be fading.
