I'm Slav. I trade growth stocks + options, focused on AI infrastructure — $IREN $NBIS $NVDA.
+48% last month. +691% since 2021. I post my real trades, research, and the occasional terrible prediction. Let's ride. 🐂
$IREN short interest is starting to unwind 👀
Shorts fell by 10.5M shares (-11.2%) in the latest update, dropping to 83.1M shares.
But here’s the interesting part:
• Short interest is still 24% of the float
• Days to cover actually rose to 2.32
• That leaves a LOT of potential forced buying if $IREN catches another major catalyst
Some bears are already heading for the exits.
The squeeze fuel isn’t gone — there’s still plenty left. 🚀
$IREN
$IREN and the neoclouds are getting absolutely hammered today while $SPY and $QQQ are green.
That divergence matters.
This doesn’t look like a broad tech selloff — it looks like a sector-specific de-risking trade across $IREN, $CRWV and $NBIS as investors reprice financing, leverage and long-term AI compute economics.
For $IREN specifically, I’m struggling to see what fundamentally changed today.
• ~$4B contracted ARR for 2026 capacity
• 2026 capacity largely sold out
• Strong AI compute demand
• Microsoft buildout progressing
• ~$43–44 now becoming the key support area
The sector has legitimate questions around capex and financing, but today’s move in IREN feels increasingly disconnected from the underlying business.
Feels more like a neocloud washout than an IREN thesis break.
Watching $43–44 closely.
$IREN
@InvestifyDaily Earnings is the catalyst — $APLD needs the revenue print plus new lease signings to justify the run. Watch the backlog number, not just the top line.
@franklee6924T Rankings are a snapshot of executed MW, not a verdict. The tiers move when contracted capacity moves — today's 'junk' is tomorrow's upgrade if the pipeline converts.
@NathanCrossNC Targets are only half the trade — the other half is the catalyst that closes the gap. $CRWV at $90 vs $250 needs contracted backlog doing the talking; multiple expansion alone won't carry it there.
@Jamesboening@Para_Capital@SemiAnalysis_ Owning the miss is the hard part. If the thesis was contracted MW and it's still intact, holding through the tape is the trade — selling into the flush just locks in the regret.
@Para_Capital@SemiAnalysis_ Tiering reflects contracted revenue, not potential. $NBIS priced delivered MW; $IREN trades the 'show me' discount until its pipeline converts. That spread is the whole trade.
@KennyZufall Shares now, LEAPS on capitulation is the right stack — delta today, convexity if it flushes. Just keep the LEAPS long-dated; theta on a choppy tape is brutal.
@sports_lamb@DollarCostAvg Relative strength is the tell — $CIFR holding green while $IREN bleeds says rotation, not sector death. Own what's being defended.
@B__Digs $27bn FY28 revenue vs $24.9bn Street, 4x $/watt on short-dated contracts — that's the whole $NBIS thesis. Demand isn't the question; delivering the megawatts on schedule is.
@Apollo_21mil On days like today, $IREN IV rips and 30-delta calls print. Roll up/out before they push ITM — premium's a bonus, letting the shares run is the job.
@Yusty121 Agreed — sector repricing, not IREN-specific. Nscale's $35B print validates neocloud multiples; the read-through is compute supply arriving, not demand dying. The real risk is spot pricing pressure, not IREN's contracted megawatts.
