Utilization and Availability
GameStop (GME) is currently experiencing high utilization of its lendable share pool. When utilization approaches 100%, the cost to borrow typically experiences upward pressure, and the ability for new shorts to enter the market becomes severely restricted. This environment is a classic precursor to increased volatility.
Risk Assessment
For traders monitoring GME, the combination of high utilization and persistent short interest creates a fragile setup. While daily short volume flow remains active, the lack of available shares to borrow acts as a natural ceiling on new short-selling activity. We continue to monitor the borrow fee for any sudden spikes that could trigger a squeeze.
