GME heads into Tuesday's earnings print with calls firmly back in charge. Options flow has shifted bullish. Short interest sits at 13.8% of free float — elevated but not extreme.
The real bearish story is HTZ. Hertz carries a massive 59.2% short interest of free float. Availability has hit zero. That means bears can't add new positions — shorts are maxed out. Cost to borrow has jumped to 4.2% APR.
Whale activity dominated healthcare Thursday. LLY, ISRG, and MRNA all saw heavy unusual options flow. Tech whales targeted NVDA, AAPL, and MU in the same session.
PRGO is drawing attention from activist short sellers. Short interest surged 26.4% in a single week to 13.5% of float. The stock rallied 13.8% against the flow — a classic squeeze setup.
Analysts raised targets on both CRWD and TSLA heading into the holiday-shortened week. CrowdStrike's short interest is just 2.9% of float. Bears have little conviction there.
DAL reports earnings this week. Short interest is a modest 3.5% of float. Options availability sits at 974% of SI — plenty of room to add either direction.
With US markets closed July 4, thin holiday volume next week could amplify any moves in high-short-interest names like Hertz.
