Introduction
The majority of people think that the market is random, and think no one controls the market, and there is a battle between giants and traders, and at the end only one wins the battlefield. Today we are going to touch the grass of cryptocurrency and the people who are in the crypto community. Today everyone follows cryptocurrency as a trend like a Gucci. We surround ourselves with different people with mindset and treat crypto as a trend, and this is the biggest flaw, they can wipe out their wallet in seconds. I am not an expert but I know a little bit about crypto and today I am gonna share with you how the market manipulates and why the majority of traders are in the red!

1. Market Makers
Some of the people say that only those are market makers which have institutes and they have well known companies or something else. My point of view about this is quite different you hold a large portion of a coin, you are the maker, it doesn't matter who you are and where you are from, it doesn't matter that you have an institute, company or a whale. If you have a strong wallet then it means that you are the market maker. They have a crucial role in the market, meaning they shape the market. One of the major roles of market makers is to provide volatility, if there is high volatility or less actively traded securities. Then the makers ensure that there is always a buyer and seller available at that time. Market makers ensure the stability of the market and to provide liquidity and as well as try to minimize the price volatility. The thing we need to understand is orchestrators. In the context of market makers it deals with efficiency in the financial market, and also ensuring the consistent balance between supply and demand, particularly in environments like ETFs and DeFi. This is the role of market makers in cryptocurrency, imagine that if a person enter in crypto community watching reels and video in social, that someone buy a Lamborghini, just doing buy and selling and they don't understand the manipulation in the market, and they wipeout in seconds just doing trading with little or basic knowledge about crypto and then they claim that crypto is scam!

2. The three tools market makers use daily
There are a lot of mysteries about market makers, some of them are correct and some of them are baseless. There are a lot of tactics which are invisible to beginners, maybe some of them we know but we don't focus on those things. Did you ever want to know that if you set a stop loss why the market hit your stop loss. And why when you are active in trading the market behaves unpredictable, and they go to low volume zones.
a. Liquidity hunts
First and the most important thing is what Liquidity hunts, when you set a stop loss or pending order. Then the market makers intentionally towards those areas where majority of stop-loss or pending order present and this simple trick. When you learn or read about this topic you will feel that this is a simple thing but in reality the market makers earn millions from liquidity and they are ready for their next move.
b. Stop-loss sweepings
There is very little difference between liquidity hunts and stop loss sweepings. This is straightforward and they want to directly liquidate as many retail traders as possible. When you see sudden, sharp wicks this means this is the area where market makers want to wipeout as far as possible. This enough to trigger stop-loss. The market makers want to clear all the weak position. And then they set the market in that way that no one can imagine what happened right now!
c. Spread manipulation in low volume zones
The manipulation in low volume zones is very important for market makers, and I would say it's the lethal way for market makers to side with all those retail traders which have weak positions in the market. When the market hits a low-volume zone, all things for retail traders become more dangerous. And the more interesting thing is that the market makers know that fewer buyers and sellers mean less resistance, and this is the perfect moment for market makers to manipulate the spread. The spread is the gap between buy price and the sell price. In low volume areas the market makers can widen the spread to make trading more expensive and unpredictable.
3. Why Retail Gets Trapped
The majority of retail traders don't know the mechanisms and this is the main reason they lose everything. Retail traders don't lose because they are dumb. They lose because they play a game they don't understand how to play. Market makers know psychology, liquidity, and timing better than anyone, and retail traders fall into the same situation again and again. In simple words retail traders act as followers not hunters. Market makers hunt liquidity and retail keeps leaving in the same place.
4. The Illusion of “Breakouts”
Breakouts is more important and one of the common trap market makers use daily, most of them create to fool retail traders. When price breaks above resistance or below support level. With this the retail trader says that this is an opportunity and then they booked. They are thinking that this is big move about to start, but in reality the first move is not real, it's a setup. One of the more tricky things you need to understand is the market makers push the price slightly above or below a level to attract retail traders. And in this case the market maker use FOMO as a liquidity. After a moment all thing became reverse and the price came inside the range. And then the retail traders think that it is "fake" but in reality the purpose is never to continue the move it was just only to grab the liquidity.
5. How to Think Like a Market Maker
To think like a market maker, you need to avoid "guessing" that like right now the price will go towards all time high or low, this type of guess ruined your life as well as your wallet. Market makers don't care about that being right or wrong, they observe the market very closely and they target those areas with more stop loss or pending orders, because these are those areas where they can use full liquidity. Instead of chasing the price they wait and then act in the right time with the right direction. The big difference is they believe in probabilities, not certainties.
6. Psychological Angle
The market is not just like chart that sometimes its green and sometimes it's red, there is people behind every single candle and they market makers predict the person which sit behind the chart. When prices move suddenly, the majority of them panic and sell, or they target the price without any technical knowledge. They know when the price is slightly over then the retail trader now in panic and they start buying or selling and at the end the result is opposite.
7. What Retail Can Do to Protect Themselves
Retail traders can survive if they don't follow the trends and are not to be a follower of someone. The first step is education, education is important in every sector, especially in the market it's very important. If you are a good trader you don't follow reels or social media hype, always do technical research. Risk management is the key. Don't use your assets in a single trade, divide it, and take every step with precautions. Learn more to overcome the traps like breakouts, stop-loss hunts and so on.
An the end control your emotion, one single mistake can ruin your whole life, so choose everything wisely.

Today, there is an active discussion online about the surge in activity of Wintermute — the largest market maker, which, according to on-chain analysts, is acquiring large volumes of BTC, ETH, and SOL. In the past, such movements have indeed coincided with the beginning of strong market rallies. But it is important to understand: the market maker does not bet on direction — it provides liquidity and reacts to changing volatility conditions.

Binance has just taken strong action against related Market Makers (MM) concerning the GPS and SHELL projects, including freezing accounts and seizing profits to compensate affected users. This is part of Binance's efforts to protect transparency and fairness on the platform.
Firm Action from Binance

According to the latest information, #BİNANCE has identified non-transparent behaviors from the Market Makers of two projects, GPS and SHELL, leading to user losses. To remedy this situation, the exchange has decided:

Most strong庄 tokens are completely controlled by big players — meaning candlestick charts are often meaningless.庄 (market makers) can create whatever pattern they want.
Lesson:

Don’t just read candlesticks — that’s exactly how retail traders get trapped.

If you want to follow庄 and take a small bite of their profit, the key is simple:

📊 Estimate庄’s cost, analyze their profit margin, and then move with them — not against them.
🎯 Case Study: $JELLYJELLY


Last night, I estimated庄’s profit zone and predicted a rise toward 0.17–0.18, then planned my exit.
Now, based on the holding strength:

If庄 continues to hold, short-term top = 0.22–0.23

If still held, add +0.01 to each range every two hours:
22:00: target 0.23–0.24

00:00: target 0.24–0.25

This method gives an expectation window — sharp spikes of 20–30% within seconds are possible. Having expectations and a backup plan helps reduce risk.

Yesterday, I went long.

Today, I’m leaning short, because庄 is likely to recover cost and secure profit.

📍 My sell orders: 0.22 / 0.24 / 0.26

📈 Current Price:

JELLYJELLY/USDT Perp — 0.35542 (▲ +123.54%)
庄 never sleeps, and neither should your strategy. Watch their footprints, not the chart patterns.
