Short sellers are making bold moves this week. LCID saw the sharpest notable rise among popular names. Its SI % of FF jumped 14.6 points in seven days to 50.1%. The EV maker has lost 21% in three months. Bears see no floor yet.

HTZ is another crowd favourite for short sellers. SI % FF climbed 7.3 points to 67.2%. Availability sits at zero — meaning borrow is essentially gone. Cost to borrow hit 5.4% APR. That squeeze setup is real.

CHWY shorts are building too. SI % FF rose 5.6 points to 72.6%. Availability remains high at 506%, so borrow is easy. Short sellers face little friction adding here.

WOLF holds the most extreme position among larger names. SI % FF stands at 81.1% with zero availability. The chipmaker has crashed 51% in three months. Borrow is effectively locked up.

On the flip side, REPL saw shorts exit fast. SI % FF fell 7.5 points to 35.4% in a week. NMAX dropped 7.3 points to 15.6%.

CLSK is grabbing social attention today after a sharp price move. Its SI % FF sits at 31.5%. Bitcoin mining stocks remain a favourite battlefield for bulls and bears alike.
