This has almost zero significance in the majority of options trades ever conducted.

Average days too cover is directly related to the outstanding shares sold short and the corresponding daily volume on a single stock. So if 1 million shares are sold short and the average volume of that stock is 100k. Short days to cover is calculated at 10

Yeah I never understood why this days to cover metric became a thing here. Daily vol isn’t a static value, too many moving parts in the formula IMO

Since November, looks like shorts began to cover, when we probably got the good cpi print and things squeezed up. But looks like some shorts re entered.

This could get interest, if we get a .25 rate hike or even 0, and good outlook, this means some shorts will massively cover.

We are potentially in an epic move up.

Just a good chart for you regards to ingest

Graph shows shorts since beginning last year. For all stocks, it’s the average days to cover.

Meaning that if you overlay spy, you can see when spy began a dump and the price it would theoretical bounce to if shorts went back to where they were at the beginning of the year

It’s just a chart, no hopium, shit can go either way. It’s just a good data point showing if the market gets more bullish this week, these shorts will be in trouble. That’s all. This is data, you should understand what hopium means

The hopium is even suggesting a 0-Bps is on the table for this meeting.

And for suggesting we will rally more with a 0.25 rate hike...as if it isn't already priced in 😂

Wouldn't put it past market to go up another couple of %...but these bulls are getting greedy

0.25 follows the thesis of a wait and see for next hike, meaning no increase next time. And also validates that possibility that they’ve hiked to high to fast, and that we may need to reverse course.

Just one of the hypotheticals.

This isn’t coming from me, or just out of thin air. Not sure why you wsb regards all pile on the same beliefs. This is just different data points to act upon.

Also, even burry believes this, that they’ll reverse course and cut, and possibly cause a double recession and inflation

LoL...0.25 is priced in ok?

0.25 has been priced in for quite a long time...you'd know this if you paid attention to the fedwatch meter at CME

What isn't priced in is if Powell said they are pausing after this 0.25 hike....if that happened, then markets would be likely to rally further

And dipshit...don't refer to us as "WSB regards" when you're here spouting shit too...do you think you're some sort of messiah amongst us heathen? Lol...you posting your theories or DD or whatever the fuck you choose to post in this subreddit means you're a WSB regard like the rest of us

I’m a regard as well.

But don’t label my shit hopium. It’s just a chart. F off

fuglysc t1_j6gpzyg wrote

LoL...your shit IS hopium

Look at your original post...you mentioned there was a possibility of no rate hike

There is absolutely no possibility of no rate hike

It's 25 basis points...ok? Next time, use the CME Fed watch monitor

I say a 50 basis rate hike is coming, everybody is going to freak out and the market will dip

Who is dumb enough to short the market on the idea that the fed is going to surprise the market with 50bps?

The number of days it would take of buying back stock (based on recent average volume) to cover total short positions.

What is the source of data and / or the platform? Is that a weekly pattern there? Going up and down? Hence the “weeklys” term?
