- The short interest for TQQQ stands at 21.13 million shares.
- The "Days to Cover" is very low at 0.29 days, suggesting that short sellers could cover their positions quickly if needed, which typically doesn't indicate strong bearish conviction.
- The short borrow fee rate is also relatively low at 0.49%.
- While short shares availability has seen some fluctuation, decreasing from 6.5 million to 5.2 million within hours on August 7, 2025, this alone doesn't signal a strong bearish trend without further context on overall short interest changes for the week.
