Workday short interest ticks up 8.1%. At $252.73, WDAY is in a steady uptrend, hovering near its 20-day moving average. While the PE is sky-high (117), bulls are defending the trend. A continued climb could pressure short sellers to cover.

D-Wave Quantum sees short interest drop 8.02%. Despite a sharp selloff (-5.68%) and a negative EPS, the trend remains upward. Volatility is sky-high, but speculative bulls are still in the game.

Lucid short interest is rising again, up 4.34%. The EV stock is stuck in a sideways chop near $2.19. With no earnings and waning momentum, bears are still firmly in control here.

Peloton sees shorts ease by 4.78%. The stock is slowly climbing, with RSI close to 60. With a beaten-down chart and slight uptick in sentiment, this could be a classic short squeeze setup in motion.

eBay short interest spikes 18.53%. Priced at $78.77 and in a strong uptrend, the recent uptick in bearish bets may signal an inflection point, or fuel a squeeze if bulls push through resistance.

Sprouts short interest rises 18.1%. Shares are down 2.33% today and trending sideways. The stock is technically vulnerable, though fundamentals are solid. One to watch for either a breakdown or a reversal.

Futu Holdings short interest drops 6.44%. At $107.57, it’s holding trend support. Strong EPS and bullish structure make this one a potential rebound candidate if shorts stay on the retreat.

ZIM short interest slips 8.91%. Despite negative momentum today, the stock is holding above its 20-day and climbing. With a low PE (0.87) and high beta, this shipping name could turn volatile in bulls' favor.

Credo short interest falls 7.26%. The stock is in a strong uptrend but trades at a rich valuation. If momentum continues, the shorts might regret giving up early.

Amazon short interest rises 8.57%. Still in a powerful uptrend, this could just be normal hedging, but elevated short interest makes it worth watching for a squeeze.

Virgin Galactic shorts climb 7.3%. Despite fundamentals being rough, the stock is climbing off multi-year lows. Definitely speculative, but prime squeeze territory.

PayPal short interest jumps 7.67%. With an uptrend in play and improving RSI, this one may be turning the corner. Momentum bulls could get aggressive.

West Pharma shorts retreat 10.85%. Technically sideways but showing signs of accumulation. Strong EPS makes it a defensive play.

Carlisle Companies’ short interest rockets 21.71%. While trending sideways, the spike in shorts could trigger fireworks if bulls push the price higher.

Bottom line: For near-term squeeze potential, keep a close eye on $PTON, $EBAY, and $SPCE. All have rising or high short interest paired with bullish technical setups. The rest? Worth monitoring, but not all are ready to pop.
