Squeeze Radar

55

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

Bearish Conviction

31

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

Crowding

68

Latest short interest is 7.3M shares and days to cover is 11.60.

Divergence

37

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