For market makers of altcoins, as the sole 'big player' holding a large number of chips at the opening, adopting a strategy of crashing the market and going short, then buying back after the price drops by 90% to switch to going long, may be considered the optimal strategy in certain situations. However, the only risk of this strategy is that retail buying pressure is too strong, making it difficult to effectively lower the price.

But in the current environment of the cryptocurrency market, market makers seem to have little to worry about this issue, as most altcoins have already struggled to attract retail buying interest.
