The ASX posts daily updates, a lot of positions were closed between the shortman data and now, but we still have more open on Tyro than most stocks, and looking at the big drop today I think there's probably been additional shorting. It all has to close though at some point, so as positive sentiment returns there will be increased risk on those positions.
I think a lot of the more cautious and neutral buyers will be waiting for transaction volumes update on Monday and some kind of sign of an "all clear" on the issue that will likely come through an announcement. The weakness viceroy have in the last stages of this attack is their credibility as a reputable shorting firm (and quite rightly so because they are not even a firm, let alone a reputable one), so they need others to believe the stock is doomed and piggy back onto the shorting position in order to close with a profit and not a loss. At these lower prices that looks more achievable than it did when the shares were in the $2.80 to $3 range, but they're still not going to make squillions from this at these prices and they are running out of time.
