The short interest is still extremely high and likely a number of firms are already liquidating their positions to pay off GME. The squeeze should be on Friday when every option expires in the money.

well, true, but people are still reporting very high amount of short positions.

Is this data available anywhere?

No, the short float is still hight. Old short have covered but new ones have replaced them

Wait?

Wouldn't new ones be shorts against the inflated prices?

It could easily be other retail investors shorting the reddit pump and dump.

I suppose as long as no one innocent is hurt, it doesn't really matter if some redditors and hedge funds are cleaned out. But it seems more and more likely that the only thing that will have been done here in the end is to enrich the market makers.

This is being framed as retailers vs. institutional but in reality there's both on each side.
