Short sellers turned aggressive on RDDT this past week. Short interest jumped to 17.6% of free float, up from 13.5% — a 4.1 percentage-point spike in just seven days. The move comes as markets brace for NVDA's results, a catalyst many bears believe could drag high-valuation tech names lower.
CHTR also drew fresh shorts. Its SI % FF climbed to 32.4%, up 2.9 points week-on-week. Short sellers appear to be betting on cable sector pressure continuing.
Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR) posted the biggest 7-day jump. SI surged 7.5 percentage points to 25.1% — a rapid build that could set the stage for a squeeze.
On the squeeze side, SVV saw bears retreat. Savers Value Village's SI fell 5.5 points to 9.0%. and also saw notable short covering.
WOLF remains the most-shorted large name at 83.4% SI % FF. The semiconductor maker has shed 63% in three months. GRPN sits at 72.9% and HTZ at 62.5% — both persistently heavy.
NVDA itself carries just 1.3% SI % FF. Short sellers are playing the ripple effects, not the stock directly.
