Not exactly.
Again, remember I am not an expert.

My take is say a HF has 100,000 naked shorts. They buy and remove the 100,000 shares from the market. The shares are not sold back into the market, thus the market has 100,000 more buys than sells. More buys than sells means the stock price should rise.
