Track short interest, days-to-cover, and short squeeze potential across major stocks
What is short interest? When investors "short" a stock, they borrow shares and sell them, hoping to buy back cheaper later. High short interest (% of float shorted) means many investors are betting the stock will fall — but it also creates short squeeze potential, where rising prices force shorts to buy, pushing prices even higher (like GameStop in 2021). Days to Cover = how many trading days it would take all shorts to buy back their shares at average volume.
