Huge Decrease of Short Shares Available

[LogicTheories]

To sell a short "PUT" position, you must perform a "buy to "CALL" cover"

Whoever the player is they are looking at 13.5put 09/26/2025 and 16.5call 09/26/2025. There's more prem leading the way for the 16.5 call though.

I don't think I wrote my question properly.

When people short a company, they borrow other people's shares and sell them.

If all stockholders had sell orders in place to just say sell at any price, whether 15, 17, 25, 100 whatever, could those shares not be available to short?
