yes they did short around the $3 mark. they also lost a hell of a lot of money as it went up to $3 which offsets profits

if you look at this year alone
Jan 29th short interest was 138mill share price 96c
July 1st short interest 268mill and price is $91c

that's a lot they have to purchase back without a CR coming or anymore rebalancing of asx 100/200 for 5c profit. (and yes I know there was covering and shorting during this period)
the best any of them have during that time is 50% profit (if they purchased back today) and during that peak they were covering and purchasing back at recent top not shorting more.

I have no idea of the mentality of a shorter, don't agree with the practice and think it just creates a unreal surplus of supply to destroy a share price. But at some point they will have to purchase back the huge volumes in LTR and PLS and cant see how they do this without skyrocketing the SP.

time will tell...

So that's 130m shorts added. Average price in 1H24 = $1.15
So those new shorts are comfortably in the money.
How will they cover? Maybe a short squeeze, maybe Li price will keep falling. Time will tell.
