>>74247897 For future reference, here's the website link (the chart should be set to begin on March 11 2024 so it goes to the week of the Q3 drop to now.)
https://japan-kabuka.com/chart/?id=5032&candledate=2024-03-11Going off memory the lines indicate the following
Red: shorts held by institutions
Cyan: Margin Selling
Blue: Margin Buying
Going off what past me said and looking at the chart since March (Take what I say with a heavy grain of salt, I'm not well versed in stocks despite my moniker and Japan may have different policies)
It seems short selling institutionally at least is till fluctuating, though it seems to have stabilized for now and I expect it'll take a long time before it reaches to before the Q3 report.
As for Margin Selling, I might be misinterpreting this, but I believe that Cyan might instead represent amount of short sells held by individuals. Over the months it has had some slight movement (notably only downwards), but it still maintains a almost perfectly straight line. Assuming I'm interpreting the graph correctly, if the ban is still in place that means that around 1 to 1.1 million individual shares are waiting to be used for short selling.
Again, I'm THAT qualified when it comes to stuff this detailed. So someone with more economical/business knowledge may be able to clarify some things. But I think at the very least there seems to be a sort of limit? Who knows.
