🧩 Common ETH Market Maker Distribution Methods

1. High-Level Fluctuation Distribution

• Sideways trading repeatedly near key resistance levels (such as large integer levels: 5000, 6000).

• Attracting retail investors to believe a breakout is imminent, increasing their willingness to buy, allowing market makers to gradually sell off.

2. Creating False Breakouts

• Market makers intentionally push up the price first, breaking through key levels (false breakout).

• Once retail investors chase the price higher, the market makers immediately reverse course and sell, quickly pushing the price back into the range.

3. Wash Trading with High Volume

• Placing large buy/sell orders on the exchange to create the illusion of 'increased trading volume'.

• Retail investors see the increased volume and think the market is starting, but most of it is the market maker trading with themselves, distributing tokens to buyers along the way.

4. Coordinating with News

• Using positive news (upgrades, ETFs, institutional buying) to significantly increase the price.

• When market sentiment is at its hottest, market makers gradually distribute.

5. Slow Selling Pressure

• Not significantly suppressing prices in an uptrend, but rather pushing and selling simultaneously.

• Eventually completing most of the distribution in the top area, followed by a stall in the market.
