Who’s being shorted hardest right now.
FINRA requires every member firm to disclose short positions twice a month. We aggregate the most-shorted U.S. equities — by % of float, days-to-cover, and recent change. The same data the “short squeeze” setups are built from.

How to read this data
Short interest is the total shares sold short but not yet repurchased. % of float divides that by the publicly tradable share count — anything above 20% is heavily shorted. Days-to-cover (DTC) is shares-short divided by average daily trading volume — how many days at normal volume it would take to repurchase every shorted share.
High short interest is BOTH a squeeze setup AND a smart-money conviction signal. GameStop in 2021 was an example of the squeeze dynamic; Beyond Meat’s persistent 40%+ short interest is an example of the conviction signal.
