WHAT DAYS-TO-COVER TELLS YOU

Days-to-cover (short interest ÷ avg daily volume) shows how many trading days it would take for all short sellers to cover their positions using average daily volume. DtC > 10 means a potential short squeeze: if positive news arrives, shorts scramble to buy simultaneously — amplifying any price move. High DtC in small-float stocks is particularly explosive.
