Tightening Supply for TSLA Shorts
Interactive Brokers data via IBorrowDesk shows a significant spike in the cost-to-borrow (CTB) for Tesla (TSLA) shares over the last 48 hours. A rising borrow fee, coupled with a reduction in available shares to lend, is a classic signal that the cost of maintaining a short position is increasing. While this data is specific to the Interactive Brokers platform, it often serves as a reliable proxy for broader market sentiment and liquidity constraints. The combination of high borrow costs and reduced availability suggests that short sellers are facing increased friction, which could lead to forced covering if the stock price experiences upward momentum.
