Looks like they did cover most of the short $SPY puts. It was the major reason of today's sell-off. Generally, the whole sell-off happened because someone had been heavily short puts and short VIX. For those who understand short covering, it is not always bullish. If you want to be bearish, you buy puts. But if you want to be bullish, or more precisely, short the bears, you can sell puts. You make money if the market goes up or stays flat. The problem is that if the market starts going down, those short puts move against you very quickly. At some point, you may be forced to buy them back. And this is where the mechanics become bearish. When you buy back the puts you previously sold, someone on the other side, usually a dealer, is selling those puts back to you. To hedge that exposure, the dealer often needs to sell futures or the underlying index. So your short covering in puts can create additional selling pressure in the market. That is why buying back short puts is not the same as covering a short stock position. Short stock covering is usually bullish: you buy shares back. Short put covering can be bearish: you buy puts back, and the dealer hedge can push the market lower. This is one of the reasons sell-offs can accelerate when a large short-vol or short-put position starts to unwind.
