You need to re-read that article from FINRA that I posted. Short volume is meaningless, the vast majority of it is simply the market makers processing orders and providing liquidity, the vast majority of the trades they mark "short" are covered almost instantly or by the end of the same trading day. All that crap you see on the interwebs about short volume being some sort of indicator of nefarious actions is just pumpers tossing up a scapegoat for when they sell for profit and the PPS begins to tank.
