Rapid Bearish Buildup
NVIDIA (NVDA) has experienced a significant shift in sentiment over the past week. According to Ortex data, the short interest as a percentage of free float has jumped 8 percentage points to 26.6%. This rapid accumulation of short positions suggests that institutional bears are aggressively betting against the stock's recent rally.
Organic Short Thesis
Despite the sharp increase in short interest, the cost to borrow remains relatively low at 0.46%. This indicates that the short thesis is currently being built organically through the lending market rather than being forced by a lack of supply. The market is currently split, with the flow imbalance score of 56.6 reflecting a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers rather than a consensus view.
