<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) is up 6% on Friday, and technical indicators currently present a mix of signals, with several potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-doge-price-prediction">bullish breakout scenarios.</a>
What Happened: In a Chart Action video podcast, a technical analyst <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPDbHkbZEx4">identified</a> a distinct falling channel pattern following Dogecoin's breakout from a previous falling wedge. 
Currently trading below the 0.185 Fibonacci retracement level, Dogecoin continues to form lower highs and lower lows.
The weekly 9-period moving average remains a critical marker. 
"If we're below that line, it's a bad position; if we break above it, then this is a good position," the analyst noted, emphasizing how this moving average has consistently served as resistance throughout the recent downtrend.

What's Next: In the near term, Dogecoin may need to consolidate before making a decisive move. 
"We might have to go sideways for a little bit before we actually start bouncing to the upside," the analyst suggested, explaining that this would allow the 9-period moving average to adjust to a more favorable breakout position.
For bullish scenarios, breaking above the channel's resistance could push DOGE toward the next Fibonacci level at $0.248. The analyst explained, "If we break out, I'd drag this to wherever we break out, and that'll give us a target," potentially around $0.19, depending on the breakout point.
On the downside, support at $0.153 and $0.142 could provide temporary bounces. 
However, if these levels fail, the analyst anticipates a potential decline to $0.10. "Ever since we broke right here, I placed a limit order at 10 cents," he revealed, referencing the bottom Fibonacci retracement level from Dogecoin's last major rally.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

The European Commission on Friday approved AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) and Daiichi Sankyo's&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSKNY#OTC">DSKNY</a>) Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) as a monotherapy for a type of breast cancer.
The approval covers adult patients with unresectable or metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow breast cancer who have received at least one endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting and who are not considered suitable for endocrine therapy as the next line of treatment.

The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2025/enhertu-approved-in-eu-in-post-et-breast-cancer.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">approval</a> is based on results from the DESTINY-Breast06 Phase 3 trial.
In the trial,&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;showed a 38% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus chemotherapy in patients with chemotherapy-naïve HR-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 13.2 months versus 8.1 months.
In the overall trial population, the median PFS was 13.2 months in patients randomized to&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;compared to 8.1 months in those randomized to chemotherapy.
In an exploratory analysis, results were consistent between patients with HER2-low expression and HER2-ultralow expression.
Following this approval for&nbsp;Enhertu&nbsp;in the EU, AstraZeneca is due to Daiichi Sankyo $125 million as a milestone payment.
The European Commission also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2025/imfinzi-approved-in-eu-for-aegean.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">approved</a> AstraZeneca's Imfinzi (durvalumab) in combination with chemotherapy for adults with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at high risk of recurrence and no epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements.
In this regimen, patients are treated with&nbsp;Imfinzi&nbsp;in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery and as adjuvant monotherapy after surgery.
Results from a planned interim analysis of event-free survival (EFS) showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 32% reduction in the risk of recurrence, progression events, or death versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in patients treated with the&nbsp;Imfinzi-based perioperative regimen.
In a final analysis of pathologic complete response (pCR), treatment with&nbsp;Imfinzi&nbsp;plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery resulted in a pCR rate of 17.2% versus 4.3% for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone.
Additionally, interim overall survival (OS) results showed a favorable trend with the&nbsp;Imfinzi-based&nbsp;perioperative regimen. The OS data were not tested for statistical significance in this interim analysis and will continue to be assessed as a key secondary endpoint in the final analysis.
Price Action: AZN stock is down 6.37% at $69.21&nbsp;at the last check on Friday.
