I'm not a share trader by any definition. But I was a #Gamestop smooth brained ape (💎👐🚀🌕) so I know a tiny bit more about trading than most peasants.

The large brokerage houses ("market makers") can engage into many shenanigans that either skirt the boundaries of legality or are downright illegal. They can get away with it, because even if prosecuted, the financial penalties are less than the profits.

A "market maker" can run any number of Calls, Puts and Buys/Sells to keep a share price at a given level or move it up and down.

I'm sure if you do desire, you can find out trading geeks who are dissecting the order books right now.
