This isn't accurate though because we get short info at T+4 mate...you don't know whether shorts have been dropping or increasing during this period of the price lowering. You can get this all off shortman and compare with any chart. https://www.shortman.com.au/stock?q=DYL

Shorts started lowering significantly from 11 January, and our latest data is from 17 January! Talking net numbers:

11-12 Jan, about 2M shorts closed, price went up ~10c
12-15 Jan (weekend), about 7M shorts closed, price went up ~15c
15-16 Jan, about 3.5M shorts closed, price went up ~1c
16-17 Jan, about 10k shorts were opened, price went up ~4c

And that's all the info we had! First price drop was between 18 and 19 Jan, so we don't have a clue whether shorts have been increasing or decreasing...we can only speculate!
