Shorts appear to be exiting their positions. There's a lot of speculation about how this is happening, or whether it is truly happening at all - there are tactics that can be used manipulate disclosed short short interest - but the short interest numbers we've been following all along are definitely trending down.
how often is this site updated? As often as the data is updated. Typically this is daily, before market open.
is the squeeze ever going to be squoze? possibly. short interest is still high, but it'll take some sort of catalyst: without one, at this point it's more likely short repurchasing continues as a gradual upward pressure, rather than a sudden mass event that causes the price to explode.
