$AMC Did the shorts fully cover in 2021?
No — short sellers did not fully cover their AMC short positions in 2021.
Here’s the evidence:
❗Official data shows short interest fluctuated, not disappeared
• During the big AMC rallies in early 2021, some short covering did happen — short sellers bought back some shares to cut losses as the price spiked. That’s classic behavior when prices rise sharply. 
• But short interest did not go to zero, and it did not disappear entirely after the price moves. Even after price rallies, short interest remained high (tens of millions of shares).
