market manipulation techniques
tl; dr
- market manipulation techniques are designed to deceive investors by artificially controlling or affecting the prices of assets.
- wash trading: investors simultaneoulsy sell and buy the same assets to create misleading activity in the market and confuse retail investors (green candle -> read candle -> green candle -> 🤔)
- pump and dump: tricky investors start spreading misleading information through social media increading buying pressure so they can sell at inflated price.
- bear raid: investors take big short positions and spreadh negativity around assets.
- spoofing: investors place fake orders and cancell them before execution (never rely on a single source of information!)
