What is the market doing?

In an uptrend, above its rising 50- and 200-day averages. Price is +37% vs its 200-day average.
Moderately shorted, settled Sep 30, 2026, about a week of normal trading to cover.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
