Could you explain this? Doesn't increased demand drive the price upwards?

Increased demand relative to increased supply drives price upwards. If the supply curve shifts more than the demand curve, the price goes lower.

For a retail business that earns single digit profit margins with no moat, no employed talent, and no real assets, I can only assume once the supply curve starts moving, it will move fast as everyone tries to exit.
