Maximum Utilization for USAR
USAR (NASDAQ: USAR) is facing extreme lending conditions, with utilization of lendable shares hitting 100% as of October 1. This surge marks a dramatic shift from 79% utilization just a month ago, indicating a rapid increase in bearish positioning.
Crowded Trade Alert
Short interest now stands at 37% of the float, up 76% over the last 30 days. Because utilization has hit the 100% cap, borrow availability has effectively dropped to zero. This makes it impossible for new shorts to open positions and puts existing short sellers in a precarious position should the stock price begin to climb.
Key Takeaways
- Utilization: 100%.
- Short Interest: 37% of float.
- Monthly Trend: Increased 76%.
The Bottom Line
USAR is essentially a 'locked' short position. With zero borrow availability and massive interest, the setup is primed for extreme volatility.
