How BTDR got to 49 / 100

The BTDR squeeze score is a weighted sum of five normalized components, short interest as a percentage of float, IBKR borrow fee, float utilization, days to cover, and trailing 5-day price momentum. Each component is z-scored against a universe of roughly 500 active US equities, then combined with the weights shown below.

Frequently asked questions about BTDR squeeze risk

What does a Short Squeeze Score of 49 / 100 mean for BTDR?

A score of 49/100 puts BTDR in the middle band. Some squeeze conditions are present, but not all, review the component breakdown above to see which inputs are driving the score versus which are dragging it down.

How fresh is the BTDR squeeze data?

BTDR's score recomputes once daily after the US market close (typically by 9 PM ET). Borrow fee, float utilization, and momentum refresh daily and are live. Short interest is settled as of May 15, 2026 and is held between readings, because FINRA publishes short interest on a settlement schedule, not daily. That is why the SI %Float row above is stamped with its own as-of date. Real-time short interest does not exist publicly in US markets.

Is BTDR on the FINRA threshold list?

As of the most recent FINRA file, BTDR is not on the threshold list. The list is published end-of-day and a ticker can move on or off based on cumulative settlement failures over rolling five-day windows. See stocks currently on the threshold list.
