Investopedia explains 'Minus Tick'

Brokerage firms require that short sell orders follow the "tick test", which means that if a stock is trading at a minus tick price (lower than the previous sale), a short sale at that time is not allowed. Generally, short sales are only allowed to occur on an uptick. This rule helps prevent traders from destabilizing a stock's price by short selling on minus ticks.
