Daily Short Volume Analysis
On November 5, 2026, Nvidia Corp (NVDA) saw a substantial amount of its daily trading volume marked as short. According to FINRA-reported data, the daily short volume reached 25.59% of the total reported volume. While this figure represents daily flow rather than open interest, it indicates heavy intraday selling pressure as the stock navigated market volatility.
Contextualizing the Flow
It is important to distinguish this daily short volume from official short interest. While the 30-day average short volume for NVDA has been 37.23%, the recent 25.59% print reflects the specific activity on a day where the stock price saw significant movement. Traders should note that daily short volume is not a direct measure of standing short positions but rather a gauge of the intensity of short-selling activity during the session.
Key Takeaways
- NVDA daily short volume was 25.59% on November 5, 2026.
- The 30-day average short volume for the stock is 37.23%.
- Daily short volume is a measure of flow, not the total open short interest.
The Bottom Line
Nvidia continues to attract significant short-selling flow. While the daily percentage is below the 30-day average, the sheer volume of shares being marked short underscores the stock's status as a battleground for institutional traders.
