Squeeze Radar

48

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

Bearish Conviction

21

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

Crowding

50

Latest short interest is 8.3M shares and days to cover is 3.38.

Divergence

0

Short interest fell while price rose. The bearish trade appears to be unwinding into strength.
