Bears Circle Wolfspeed as Short Squeeze Risks Mount

WOLF sits at the epicentre of US short interest right now. Short Interest hit a staggering 104.7% of free float on June 22. That jumped 15.8 percentage points in just seven days. Availability to borrow is effectively zero. That combination — extreme shorts plus no stock left to borrow — is a classic squeeze setup.
WBI (WaterBridge Infrastructure) saw the second-biggest weekly surge. SI jumped from 27.8% to 52.5% in a week. SHAZ (SharonAI Holdings) followed close behind, rising from 26.6% to 49.1%. Both names carry thin borrow availability, signalling aggressive new short positioning.
On the other side, short sellers are covering fast in CRM. Salesforce shed 2.2 percentage points of SI this week to 4.5%. CRSP (CRISPR Therapeutics) dropped 3 points to 21.3%. SATS (EchoStar) fell 3.7 points to 28%.
Among social media favourites, GME holds 13.7% SI. MSTR sits at 12.6%. COIN is at 11.3%. TSLA and NVDA remain lightly shorted at 3% and 1.2% respectively. Nvidia bears have largely stepped aside despite the recent Nasdaq dip on rate worries.
