I know that in general traders do not want to trade more than ~10% of a stock's daily volume to avoid moving the stock. I was wondering whether that changes if you are shorting a stock.
Say the amount you are shorting is within 10% of the stock's trading volume, but constitutes the majority of the available shares for shorting in the stock. Would that be problematic for liquidity, moving the price, etc?
