New data from Ortex highlights a significant buildup in bearish positioning, with short interest climbing 25.6% over the last seven days. This brings the total short interest to 21.6 million shares, marking the highest level observed since early October. This rapid accumulation, representing a 102% increase over the past week, is occurring amid heightened short squeeze pressures. Traders are advised to monitor utilization rates and borrow fees, as the rapid rise in open positions often precedes increased volatility and potential squeeze events in the underlying securities.
