● short interest & squeeze — real settlement data

How heavily is it shorted?

The short interest (shares sold short), days-to-cover (short interest ÷ average daily volume), and short interest as a % of shares outstanding from real bi-monthly settlement data — plus the settlement trend and the daily short-volume ratio. A crowded short with a high days-to-cover is more squeeze-prone; these are positioning magnitudes, not a direction.
