Short interest charts overlook critical flows, Kris Sidial notes

Short interest charts overlook critical flows, Kris Sidial notes
Short interest charts miss flow trends

Kris Sidial said many short interest charts being shared fail to capture the underlying flows shaping the market.

He explained that most firms are not making outright short bets, and that efforts to ease margin requirements are underway as banks offering balance sheet support for speculative trades request adjustments from clients.

Sidial has previously expressed skepticism about allocating investments based on fixed return targets, particularly for long volatility strategies, in a recent commentary. He also highlighted that a substantial slowdown in equity financing since June has stalled public equity market flows, according to an earlier market review. These observations align with his ongoing focus on structural factors shaping trading activity.
