Ticker Report tracked the mixed signals across energy, cryptocurrency, and Treasury-focused funds.
Crypto ETF Draws Massive Short Attack
Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) became a magnet for short-sellers in September. Short interest climbed 63.2% month-over-month to 531,112 shares, Ticker Report found. The leveraged crypto bet attracted heavy bearish bets as digital assets remained volatile.
Treasury ETF Sees Steepest Short Interest Rise
Simplify Short Term Treasury Futures Strategy ETF (TUA) logged the sharpest jump among all five funds. Short interest surged 78.8% in September to 142,723 shares, according to Ticker Report. The spike signals bearish bets on short-term debt amid shifting rate expectations.
Bond ETF Stands Alone With Retreating Shorts
NEOS Enhanced Income Aggregate Bond ETF (BNDI) bucked the trend. Shorts pulled back sharply in September. Short interest fell 36.0% to 19,809 shares, Watchlist News reported. The decline suggests reduced bearish conviction on the income-focused bond fund.
Energy Dividends Play Mixed Sector Signals
Weevee High Yield ETF (WEEI), which focuses on energy stocks and closed-end funds yielding 7%+ annually, rounded out the five funds tracked. Seeking Alpha noted the fund aims to generate income while limiting principal loss through energy exposure. The fund's short-interest movement reflects broader uncertainty in the energy sector.
