The current short percentages verses those of a few months ago on the ones you cited would be substantial.
I did some quick eyeballing on the data and I generally see 30-50% on those stocks during their run-ups, flat periods, and down cycles. I took the liberty of plotting out ANET in November 2017.
ANET November 2017 $197-$242 Green almost every day during the period

Similar numbers are seeen on the slide REGEN had in late April/ early May 2018:
REGN April 26 2018 to May 9 2018 $323-$284 red almost every day.
20180426 REGN 54603 0 192678 Q 28.%

In both cases with polar opposite stock performance we see the 30-50% range almost every day. I just can't seem to find a case where FINRA short volume has any correlation with price or short interest. Also, these are both very healthy/wealthy companies. Obviously they are not targets that could be bankrupted by shorts. ANET saw a couple days during the run at or near 60%. Everyone here seems to see the value in IPIX short volume but I just can't make any thing from it.
