description: "There is another indicator: many who were shorting around 1300 have suddenly been pulled up to 1700+.If all these people trigger their stop orders, the upward momentum won't be this strong.This is also a key indicator. As long as these shorts haven't closed their positions, the big players' short squeeze won't stop. It's like the move from 1500 down to 998—fast and ruthless, scaring the bulls almost to death.Once these shorts are covered, those who couldn't resist are chasing highs. Market sentiment suddenly becomes unanimous with no divergence, which means we've reached a consolidation phase."

- **价值投机007 · 2026-08-17T14:08:22.000Z · 👍 1**: Bro, was the post just now deleted?
- **半山外賣仔 · 2026-08-17T14:07:57.000Z**: I have a friend, the one you mentioned at 1300, now down 87% 😅 I'm really afraid he's going long.
- **新用户_lTxlH · 2026-08-17T14:07:54.000Z**: Was there a post just now that got banned?
- **坤坤的交易员 · 2026-08-17T14:07:45.000Z**: Iron Bro, what's going on? I can't see your updates.
- **༿ · 2026-08-17T12:09:09.000Z**: The Mag 7 fell, and it's a seesaw with storage. Is capital being pulled 💰 into storage? 😑
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-08-17T13:37:21.000Z): Yes, go with the flow.
- **期权重度爱好者 · 2026-08-17T11:44:18.000Z**: Neither bulls nor bears dare to play; it's even harder to catch than Tesla's short-term moves.
- **新用户_tl0F7D1 · 2026-08-17T11:18:58.000Z**: Miss you, Steel Bro 😭
- **←顾小神股← · 2026-08-17T10:29:07.000Z**: So which indicators can measure how much short interest there is, and how many people have open positions?
- **曹爽爽 · 2026-08-17T08:26:31.000Z · 👍 2**: There will still be those who defy the trend, coming in to short at 1700 and 1800. Short-selling fuel will definitely remain, just in smaller quantities.
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-08-17T08:40:15.000Z): It will happen, just like bottom-fishing starting at 1200; there's still a process from 1200 down to 998. The same goes for rising: after a rally, it will pull back.
