I disagree. You have more people buying not selling.

All transactions in the market are balanced. You can’t have more buyers then sellers. You only have the agreed price of the transaction.

Shot selling inverts the process allowing one to sell first with a promise to buy back, hopefully at a lower price. The short seller provides market liquidity to smooth the fall in a stocks price in a down market.
