USAR just witnessed something remarkable—short interest surged to an all-time high, now sitting at 12% of its total float. That's a significant chunk of the circulating supply being bet against.
What does this mean? When short interest climbs this aggressively, it usually signals mounting bearish sentiment among traders. Either they're anticipating a price drop, or they've spotted fundamental weaknesses worth exploiting.
But here's the flip side: elevated short positions create potential for a violent squeeze if buying pressure suddenly kicks in. Those shorts would need to cover, potentially triggering cascading buy orders.
The 12% threshold isn't just a number—it's a psychological battleground. Market participants are clearly divided on USAR's near-term direction, and this level of short concentration could amplify volatility in either direction.

Do the 12% shorts really dare to go all out? Should we counter with a squeeze and see who ends up crying?

12% short interest? Things are getting interesting now. Either it's the eve of a massive squeeze, or it's the beginning of another round of chives harvesting... Stay tuned.

12% short? This time it's getting interesting. Either big institutions are bearish, or they're waiting for a squeeze... To be honest, I bet on the latter.

Shorts are crazy about shorting, and now there is a good show to watch... Wait to be crushed
