VWAP and the session figures are computed from the delayed intraday series on this page, so they lag the live tape and will not match a broker's real-time VWAP exactly. Turn on Prior day H/L/C, Opening range and Volume profile in the chart's Studies menu to see these levels drawn on price.

Exchanges publish short interest twice a month with a settlement lag, so this is roughly two weeks behind. Days to cover divides shares short by average daily volume — it estimates how long covering would take, not whether it will happen.
