Growing Bearish Conviction
MicroStrategy (MSTR) is showing a clear divergence between the stale, bi-weekly FINRA short interest figures and the near-real-time estimates provided by Ortex. This gap suggests that short sellers have been aggressively adding to their positions since the last official reporting date. The increase in estimated short interest, combined with high volatility in the underlying asset, points to a growing bearish conviction among institutional and retail traders alike. As the days-to-cover metric remains elevated, any unexpected price appreciation could trigger a rapid covering cycle. We are monitoring this divergence closely as a primary indicator of shifting market sentiment.
