Market Context
This daily flow data reflects the volume of trades marked short on the exchange. With over 3 million shares shorted off-exchange during the session, BKR is seeing heightened bearish interest. As this is flow data, it does not represent the total open short interest, but it does highlight that market makers and institutional traders were actively positioning on the short side during the session. Traders should cross-reference this with real-time borrow availability to determine if this pressure is leading to a tightening of lendable supply.
