Mining Stock Sentiment in Flux: Short Interest, Analyst Targets, and Trend Signals Among BTC Miners

Mining stock sentiment is moving markets as much as hash rate, with short interest, analyst targets, and chart signals steering bets on BTC miners. A tight cluster around CleanSpark and peers shows up in recent chatter ^[1].

Short-interest snapshots • Short snapshot (Post 1): CleanSpark (~20.85%), Cipher Mining Corporation (~20.01%), IREN Ltd (~19.89%), Hut 8 Corp (~17.14%). This signals a very tight group on the downside risk front ^[1]. • Short snapshot (Post 2): TeraWulf 38.76%, Marathon Digital Holdings 27.06%, Bitdeer Technologies 23.54%, Core Scientific 23.08%. A broader danger zone for the mining cluster ^[2].

Analyst targets on deck Analyst price-target chatter is warming for CLSK and peers, with posts flagging targets for next week ^[3] and for today ^[4]. This adds a layer of directional bets atop the short-side dynamics ^[3][4].

Chart signals and BTC sentiment Chart action is flashing: bull flags on IREN Ltd, CleanSpark, and TeraWulf; a cup-and-handle on Coinbase Global, Inc.. Bitcoin is described as weak, so traders are leaning into crypto proxies ^[5].

Holdings dialogue and relative strength A separate thread ponders how long it would take for CleanSpark to match the BTC holdings of Marathon Digital Holdings, highlighting relative strength considerations within the group ^[6].

Closing thought: risk is being sized by a mix of short interest, targets, and technical patterns—watch this miner cluster for the next move.
