Short Interest and Flow Data

Short Interest and Flow Data

Short interest data serves as a critical indicator of market sentiment, with high short interest suggesting bearish outlooks and low short interest indicating bullish perspectives. Utilizing strategies that leverage this information, such as going long on low short-interest stocks and short on high short-interest stocks, can potentially enhance portfolio performance. However, managers must be cautious of crowded trades and the potential for short squeezes, which can lead to rapid price increases.
