In the summer of 2022 short interest was at 20 million for three reporting periods, then they were able to cover about two million. Short interest went back to the 19-20 million range for the EOY dump and has remained there for FIFTEEN reporting periods.
Short interest has remained stable this summer. In spite of price swings of 25% or more there has been no significant covering.
