23 names appear on both sides because the security's identifier changed between the two reports, so they are counted as neither. Counting them naively would read as 90 added and 111 removed. We know the identifier changed, not why.
These are differences between two quarterly snapshots, not observed trades: a position can appear or disappear because the index changed, a bond matured, or a corporate action occurred. Neither direction is good or bad.

Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 26, in oversold territory (below 30) | 25.7 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($76.39 to $78.75) — its "stochastic" reading is 32 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 31.8 |

| Since a 20-day breakout | it is trading within its recent 20-day range, with no fresh breakout up or down | 0 sessions |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | not enough price history yet — needs 59 trading sessions | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.3323 between its high and its low — about 0.4% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.3323 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $76.51 and $79.17 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $76.51 – $77.84 – $79.17 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 0.4% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 0.4% |
Candlestick patterns

| Since a hammer | 5 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 5 sessions ago |

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.1% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.1% |

Price streaks

Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for HYG because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 108,822,402
- Prior settlement (shares) 94,258,318
- Reported change 15.45%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.95
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
