What does the trend tell you?
Short interest is falling. It is down 0.5 percentage points over the last month and now stands at 2.4%. This is how shorting works: whoever shorts has borrowed the share and sold it, and to close the position again they must buy the share back. Falling short interest therefore means shares are being bought back in Space Exploration Technologies right now.
Many investors watch for exactly this: short interest that has been high and starts falling back. The professionals who bet on a falling price are closing down. That is not in itself a signal about what the price will do — we cannot predict the market, and short interest is only one number among many. But it does say something about what the large players are doing.
