Good read.

Before the read, I was wondering why huge ask walls appear at regular intervals after a huge dump. Why sell low when you can sell high?

After the read, I am aware that one possibility is the manipulators are at the Suppressing Prices stage. I don't know about this for sure but this offers a real and logical explanation.

After the Suppressing Prices stage, the following stages follow: (1) Test Pump, (2) Actual Pump, (3) Shakeouts, (4) Re-allocation and distribution, and (5) Exiting - The Dump.
