Short sellers made bold moves this week. Wolfspeed stands out as the most dramatic shift — SI % of FF hit 100%, jumping 22 percentage points in just seven days. The beleaguered semiconductor maker has lost half its value over three months. Zero shares are now available to borrow, making new short positions nearly impossible to open.
Quantum Computing Inc. remains firmly in bears' crosshairs. SI sits at 31.6% of FF, up 2 points on the week. Availability is near zero at just 2%. The stock is a social media favourite — retail bulls and institutional shorts are locked in a tug-of-war.
NANO Nuclear Energy saw SI climb to 24.9%, adding 2.6 percentage points week-on-week. Nuclear energy hype keeps drawing retail buyers in — shorts are betting the enthusiasm fades.
Wix.com also attracted fresh bearish interest, with SI rising to 29.1% of FF. Bears appear unconvinced by recent price strength.
On the other side, NVIDIA short interest remains minimal at just . Shorts have largely stepped aside despite headlines about China market challenges and "relentless hammering" noted by analysts. The stock's $5.3 trillion market cap makes a squeeze irrelevant — but the bear absence says plenty.
