But even in naked shorting eventually it needs a settlement..so at some point there would have to be sellers. Even if the price is driven down through NS by MMs and thus opens price manipulation a la carte if retailers eventually dont sell at lower prices (and here everyone would with a loss)the price must go up again.

"""Naked short selling, or naked shorting, is the practice of short-selling a tradable asset of any kind without first borrowing the security or ensuring that the security can be borrowed, as is conventionally done in a short sale. When the seller does not obtain the shares within the required time frame, the result is known as a "failure to deliver". The transaction generally remains open until the shares are acquired by the seller, or the seller's broker settles the trade"""
