Data Interpretation
This FINRA Reg SHO data captures the daily flow of trades marked short. While this is not an official measure of open short interest, the elevated ratio relative to the 20-day average is a signal of active bearish sentiment or hedging. Investors should cross-reference this with upcoming official short interest reports to determine if this flow is resulting in net new open positions.
