It’s really not that complicated if you have the facts. Short volume really doesn't show anything. It's just a trade in which the broker could not immediately deliver physical stock on an order but still had a locate. The transaction until physical delivery by regulation must be marked short, that's merely a technicality - The trade itself takes a matter of seconds. Unless the trade takes place at a broker/dealer that can handle both sides of the trade there will always be a short until settlement which is T+2.
