Bears Holding Ground
As Rezolve AI (RZLV) approaches its October 6 earnings release, short sellers remain deeply committed to their bearish thesis. The stock has drifted to $2.06, and the lending market is reflecting heightened tension. Recent data shows a rapid contraction in shares available to borrow, which has fallen from 29% to 16% in just seven days.
A Rapidly Changing Lending Landscape
A nearly 45% drop in availability over one week is a significant signal that the 'easy' short has ended. Only about one share remains available for every six that were reachable just a week ago. This shift in the lending market suggests that those already short are holding firm, while new participants are finding it increasingly difficult to enter the trade without paying premium borrow fees.
Key Takeaways
- Short sellers maintain significant positions heading into earnings.
- Share availability for borrowing dropped 45% in the last week.
- Current availability stands at only 16% of lendable supply.
The Bottom Line
The tightening lending environment for RZLV suggests that the cost of maintaining a short position is rising, which could force premature covering if the stock reacts positively to its upcoming earnings announcement.
