Momentum from daily closes. Short interest is FINRA’s twice-monthly count of shares actually held short (a standing position), which is a different thing from the daily flow above — days to cover is that position divided by average daily volume.

HOW WE READ O

Every trading day, FINRA publishes how much of O’s volume traded on the short side. We rank today’s share against this name’s own trailing month (60 sessions of history): today sits at the 12th percentile. Flow is then read with price — heavy short flow into a falling price is pressure; the same flow into a rally is mostly market-maker machinery. Days with volume shocks (earnings, news) are flagged post-shock and never read as clean signals. The result is the state badge above — a description of the crowd, never a buy or sell call.
