Type:
Daily short volume ratios from FINRA data. Tickers with consistently high short volume (60%+) face increasing forced buying pressure as shorts must eventually cover.
Short volume as a percentage of total volume. Above 50% = more shares sold short than bought.
Short interest divided by average daily volume. Higher DTC = more days needed to unwind shorts.
Period-over-period change in short interest. Rising SI amplifies squeeze potential.
When high SV ratio meets rising price, shorts get squeezed into forced buying.
Short Volume: Daily short volume data from FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). Short volume ratio = short volume / total volume for each trading day. We track the latest available day for each ticker in our watchlist. SV above 50% indicates more shares were sold short than bought on that day.
Short Interest: Bi-monthly settlement data from FINRA. Shows total outstanding short positions as of settlement date. Days-to-cover calculated using 20-day average volume. Updated twice monthly with a ~10 business day lag.
High short volume combined with low share availability and rising prices creates "squeeze" conditions where short sellers face margin calls and must buy shares at any price, creating explosive upward pressure.
