Short sellers are moving fast this week. SPCX (Space Exploration Technologies) saw the biggest weekly jump — SI % of Free Float rocketed from 3.7% to 27.6%, a gain of nearly 24 points in just seven days.
HTZ remains a bear favorite. Hertz short interest climbed to 70.1% of free float, up from 60.3% a week ago. Shares available to borrow: zero. The rental car giant looks increasingly squeezed with no easy exits for shorts.

CHWY also saw shorts exit. Chewy's SI fell from 74.9% to 66.5%. Availability sits at a massive 642% — plenty of room left to short if bears return.
TNGX drew fresh attention in biotech. Tango Therapeutics SI jumped nearly 16 points to 59.5% of free float this week.
