Bears Pile Into GME Again as Wolfspeed Stays in the Crosshairs

Short sellers are back targeting GME. Short interest in GameStop jumped from 0.94% to 7.17% of free float in just seven days — a near 7-fold surge. The cost to borrow remains cheap at 0.46%, suggesting the move is still early-stage. Social media chatter around the meme stock has picked up again, but bears appear to be gaining the upper hand this time.

WOLF remains one of the most pressured names on the board. The semiconductor company carries 80% short interest of free float. Availability has hit zero, meaning no new shares are available to borrow. That's a powder-keg setup.

BRVE is the most extreme case. Braveheart Bio's SI topped 367% of free float, up 144 percentage points in one week. That's a heavily contested biotech.

EROC also saw shorts pile in — up 12 points to 61% of free float in seven days. Meanwhile, LCID sits at 50% shorted with a cost to borrow above 6%.

On the other side, shorts are retreating from STAA and MATW, both seeing SI drop 3-5 points this week. That unwinding could signal cover-driven price support ahead.
