I have enough data to write a compelling article now.
Short sellers are targeting micro-cap stocks with unusual aggression this week. ONCO — Onconetix — saw its SI % of free float rocket from 25% to 181% in just seven days. That is a stunning 156 percentage point jump.
EDBL (Edible Garden) surged from 10% to 97% SI. TRNR (Interactive Strength) quadrupled from 17% to 67%. These are not slow-building positions. Bears are moving fast.
Among larger names, CHRD (Chord Energy) added 3 points to reach 8.2% SI. Oil sector jitters are fuelling the move. SN (SharkNinja) climbed from 6.7% to 8.8% — consumer goods bears are circling.
Two nuclear/rare earth plays remain firmly in the crosshairs. OKLO sits at 19.4% SI and Materials at — both ticking higher.
WDAY (Workday) holds 13.8% SI despite beating Q2 guidance. Bears haven't blinked after results. IMAX hit 15.9% — though M&A reports today sent the stock spiking, which could squeeze shorts fast.
Meanwhile, BIIB (Biogen) saw its Parkinson's trial fail overnight. SI is only 3.4% but that number may rise.
