Trump's crypto bank just got approved (Ad)

Here's a detail almost everyone missed about last October. When crypto stumbled in October 2025, Trump's crypto team was only half built. His SEC chairman was in place. But the man now running the CFTC, crypto's other main regulator, hadn't even been nominated yet. This October is the first where both seats are filled with Trump's own picks, working from the same playbook... And the market already seems to sense it. Bitcoin just posted one of its strongest summers in years, gaining in both August and September. ETF buyers just had their biggest week since last fall. That's the backdrop heading into crypto's favorite month.tc pixel

Short selling ACT is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Enact as its price is falling. ACT shares are trading up $0.89 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price. If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

A short squeeze for Enact occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock appreciates in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of ACT, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including ACT, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is September, 15 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like ACT:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
