$CYCN Shorts don’t usually win because they’re smarter. They win when nothing changes. They lose big when liquidity dries up, timing turns against them, and catalysts force a repricing before they can get out. CYCN is starting to look like that kind of setup. With shares back to zero availability at a prime broker, this isn’t a position of strength for shorts. It’s crowding. Crowded shorts don’t exit calmly. When even a little demand shows up, things can move fast because there’s no borrow left to lean on. At that point, price discovery goes up, not sideways.
Shorts rely on time, dilution fear, and investor exhaustion, but that edge fades when expectations are already crushed and the stock is priced for failure. CYCN doesn’t need a perfect outcome. It just needs something better than what’s currently baked in. That’s where the risk flips.Longs have defined downside here, while shorts carry unlimited risk with shrinking flexibility. Short strategies work until they don’t.
