In cryptocurrency trading, the strategies of market makers are never random; there is always a clear logic and precise calculations behind them. Take the lesser-known coins like $ASR for example, the reason they are often targeted and become a "cash machine" for retail investors is quite straightforward - there are both inherent flaws in the coins themselves and the greed of human nature.

First, let's talk about the weaknesses of niche coins themselves. The trading volume of these types of coins is pitifully small, and their market cap is tight, making liquidity extremely scarce. For the market maker, this is an opportunity—just by injecting a little money, the coin price can be artificially pushed up. During the price surge, the illusion of a "dark horse" is created, and when selling, due to the small market cap, although there is selling pressure, it can still be endured. In contrast, those leading coins have large circulation and active trading; attempting to manipulate them requires astronomical amounts of money, which is labor-intensive and thankless, and smart market makers simply do not look at them.

But the real killer move, to put it bluntly, is the desire in the hearts of retail investors. How many people are contemplating achieving instant success through investment and rewriting their lives? The wealth-building stories from the crypto space have inspired everyone like a shot of adrenaline. Market makers have understood this point, creating unusual movements in $ASR, spreading positive rumors, and implying that this is the next opportunity for wealth... Driven by the dream of getting rich, retail investors ultimately fall into the traps that have been pre-dug for them. This trick has caught many people year after year.
