LEARN how to spot MARKET MANIPULATION right from the price bids/ order window

Take a look below!

There are several large buy orders (highlighted in the image), such as 52,012.2, 141,365.4, and 93,213. These could be spoofing orders—where market makers place massive buy/sell orders to create a false sense of demand or supply, influencing retail traders.

Additionally, the bid-ask spread is extremely tight, meaning the difference between the highest bid (buy) and the lowest ask (sell) is minimal.

This often indicates the presence of trading bots and potential wash trading—where bots buy and sell to themselves to artificially inflate trading volume. Market makers and bots use tight spreads to ensure liquidity and manipulate price movements.

If you see large orders appearing and disappearing frequently, it’s likely algorithmic trading designed to deceive traders into believing demand or supply is real.

Similarly, if buy and sell orders of equal size execute back-to-back, it could be bots generating fake volume to create the illusion of high market activity, luring real traders into positions.

Stay vigilant.
