Short Volume is not a short position, I am not sure why this has to be consistently pointed out that there are no shorts in this stock. Short Volume is meaningless data as it is incomplete and represents in this case almost all long position trade transactions in this stock. Settlement is Trade Day plus 2 days, Reg SHO doesnt care when the trade settles in between the trade date and those days, it must settle. If it doesnt settle and is open it shows up in the FTD report.

The daily short selling volume is misleading because market makers and principal trading firms report a large number of trades as short sales in positions that they quickly cover. For market makers with a customer order to sell, they will temporarily sell short (which gets published to the tape as a media transaction for public dissemination) and then immediately buy from their customer in a non-media transaction that is not publicly disseminated to avoid double counting share volumes.
