Markets are closed for July 4th. But short sellers were busy heading into the break.
HTZ carries the heaviest short burden of the names tracked today. Short interest hit 59.2% of free float. Available shares to borrow sit at zero — meaning fresh short positions are nearly impossible to open. That squeeze setup is hard to ignore.
CRWV tells a different story. Short interest stands at 28.4% of free float on a $36.6 billion market cap. Availability is 301% of short interest. Bears have room to add. The AI infrastructure name has drawn heavy selling pressure since its IPO.
GME holds 13.8% short interest. Availability is only 75.5% of short interest. That tight supply could fuel volatility if a catalyst emerges.
On the bullish side, DAL reports earnings next week. Short interest is just 3.5%. Availability is 975%. Options traders have plenty of flexibility to position for a move either way. Airlines face a mixed backdrop — strong demand, but rising fuel cost uncertainty.
NVDA and TSLA remain lightly shorted at 1.3% and 2.9% respectively. Both carry extraordinarily high borrow availability, suggesting the market sees little structural bearish case at current levels.
