An NVDA director filed to disclose a $411 million share sale. That is the largest insider exit reported this week by a wide margin. NVIDIA's short interest stays thin at just 1.3% of free float — bears aren't pressing the stock. But a board-level cash-out of that size is a signal worth watching. The filing lands as bond yields push higher and macro pressure builds on chip valuations. Options data reinforces the caution: NVDA topped the negative bets leaderboard over the past seven days.
Short sellers moved hard into LCID, CHWY, and WOLF this week. Lucid's short interest jumped 14 points to nearly 50% of free float.

With no borrow left and the stock down 40% in three months, the trade looks fully crowded.
