Recent data from the FINRA Consolidated NMS short sale volume files reveals a consistent flow of short-selling activity across the broader market. As of November 12, 2026, daily files show substantial volume marked as short, reflecting active intraday pressure rather than just open positions. These files, which aggregate trades reported to TRFs and the ADF, provide a critical look at the daily flow of short-selling. Analysts use this data to identify which securities are facing the most immediate selling pressure during normal market hours. While this data does not represent total open interest, the spike in daily volume is a key indicator of institutional and retail sentiment shifts.
