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

Bearish Conviction

22

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

Crowding

52

Latest short interest is 364.8K shares and days to cover is 3.41.

Divergence

0
