Increased Short Selling Pressure
Market data from the latest FINRA Reg SHO daily files reveals a notable spike in short sale volume for Tesla (TSLA). While this data represents 'flow'—the number of shares marked short during the trading day—rather than total open interest, the surge indicates that institutional and retail traders are aggressively initiating new short positions. This daily volume spike often precedes volatility, as traders react to recent price action and market sentiment. Investors should monitor whether this flow translates into sustained open interest in the upcoming bi-monthly FINRA reports.
