"it depends on how favorable the markets react to the news". Anyway, I got a feeling that this week will be our big week for news. FINALLY!"

I would say, based on the little nuance of the short postion being significantly lower, it would seem possible that parties are prepared to allow NOT a little breathing space. Just a feeling. The question will be how long they let it go before profit taking/shorting again neutralizes the momentum at which point we begin another cycle. Be ready folks to take some profits, create some trading shares if you haven't already and follow the money.
