Market Context
Short sellers are increasingly targeting electric vehicle and semiconductor-related stocks as the market navigates current volatility. With short interest at these extreme levels, the stock remains highly sensitive to any positive news or short-covering rallies. Investors should monitor borrow availability and cost-to-borrow metrics closely, as such high utilization often precedes volatility spikes or potential squeeze events.
