Grey bars are actual daily traded volume. Red bars shorts reported on the asx's daily short report. Platinum bars are the stock on net lend on any day.
And the orange bars showing big jumps are ASIC's aggregated short positions for positions larger than 100k. Clearly these have suddenly jumped by much more volume that was put through the exchange on the prior day never mind the number of shorts reported.
It is my view that all of these aberrations will be traced back to a single participant. Likely a 'market maker' with special privileges, who, in my opinion should be banned from the asx.
