  Short interest in cryptocurrencies on the NASD is a metric that measures the number of shares or tokens that have been sold short by investors. It is an indicator of market sentiment and can provide insights into the level of bearishness or pessimism towards a particular cryptocurrency. Short interest is calculated by dividing the total number of shares or tokens sold short by the total number of shares or tokens outstanding. A high short interest suggests that there are a significant number of investors who are betting that the price of the cryptocurrency will decline. This can create downward pressure on the price as these investors may sell their borrowed shares or tokens, leading to a potential decrease in demand. Conversely, a low short interest indicates that there is less pessimism in the market and that investors are more bullish on the cryptocurrency. It is important to note that short interest alone should not be the sole factor in making investment decisions, but it can be used as one of the many indicators to assess market sentiment and potential price movements.
