Heading into today, 42.4% of Figma's float was sold short. That's an enormous bet against the stock, among the most heavily shorted stocks in the technology sector. Figma's stock reached an all-time low of $16.60 per share on June 25 and has been recovering ever since. It looks like many bears rushed to cover their short-selling bets when Figma's stock held on to its recent gains.
