As the report is only every two weeks we do not know exactly when that increase occured but if we look at the price chart we see the share price rise in the first week of February then a drop off in the second week. On that basis one could surmise the short selling occurred in the second week of February.
Since, in the last four trading session, the share price has rebounded, especially strongly on 17 February with the news release of the public meeting, to continue its strong upward trend through February that is a resumption of the longer term upward trend at the end of 2009 that started back in Sepetember.
The likely short interest sell off in the second week of February was a short lived down ward blip that quickly reversed. Technically, the trend would indicate in the coming week the strong upward trend will continue and that the stock is not over bought.

This strong uptrend makes it look like a danger to short and likely there will be short covering that has overall been happening since mid-December that should add to the upward trend. The next short interest report is for the 1 March.
