Public float trading

If a US stock 97% public float is accumulated by institution end of 2020

There are only 3.5 million shares left.

At the same time, there are 32% short on this stock at latest report.

The share commonly trade between 5 to 9 millions share per day.

If there are 3.5 m shares not owned by longs, how can the share to trade above this number.

Oddly, the share price is stagnant, not volatile , no major mark up or mark down.

The 97% shares are being accumulated in the $3 range as well as the shorts.

Unless the price can breakout the $3 range into higher price level. Shorts are not covering.

Why price stays stagnant . Thanks
 
A company can have a total number of shares issued of 100, institutions can hold a position of 200 and the public 100 as an example.

This is a result of market makers going short.
 
U mean institution hold 200% n sold short 100%. Please clarify.

Then assuming hold longs 100% being lent out for shorts.

But how can u have duplicate owners for the same shares

it depends on if the train leaves Albuquerque at 2pm heading east and the other train leaves New York at 12pm heading west traveling at 60mph.
 
Remember, just because the float is “accumulated” doesn’t mean price will break out of consolidation. There can be many float turnovers before the smart money is ready to move price to the next level up/down.

also, remember just because a share of stock is owned doesn’t mean it isn’t available to purchase. The rebate market is huge and lenders will exchange stock for a yield.
 
I see, the accumulation may have a turnover.
But what happen the 13F doesn't shown any sale? The institution can still sell some of the shares before going higher into another price level. Gotta it.

The rebate is lending shares to short. But that's short , not for purchase. Shares can not be duplicated owners. Thanks
