As long as people are going short, banks have incentive to keep the price high and rake in the interest, using it to keep inflating the price. Only when everyone has stopped believing the price will go down and stops short selling, then the banks can no longer inflate the price and will let it go down. See oil for an example.

Welcome to the rigged game.
