📊 Infinit Analysis: Trap or “stairway to heaven” before the big unlock?
Let’s analyze the $IN token. The chart and the glasses show the classic preparation of the Marketmaker for a big event. Let’s analyze the numbers, on-chain data and player psychology.
📍 Current situation:
• Price: $0.0655
• Capitalization: $21.2 million
• Circulation: 316.3 million (only 31% of the total emission)
• Event: May 7 — unlocking of 27 million tokens (21 million for investors + 5.9 million for the community and ecosystem).
🏗 MM Mechanics: Working with FVG and “clogging the shelves”
We are observing a moderate price increase, which is accompanied by very interesting technical behavior:
1 Gap filling: MM does not fly “sticks”, but neatly covers the FVG (Fair Value Gap) levels. This is done in order not to leave a void under the price.
2 Ladder in a glass: The Depth Chart shows a “stepped” left side. Although the volumes on the steps are small, this creates the illusion of solid support.
3 MM goal: To clog the “shelves” with liquidity and convince retail traders that the growth is healthy and safe. This creates conditions for FOMO so that during the unlocking there are enough buyers for investors to close their positions.
⛓️ On-chain metrics and the “Empty Glass”
A significant anomaly has been observed in recent days:
• Outflow from exchanges (Outflow): Big players continue to withdraw coins to Unknown addresses.
• Supply shortage: The right side of the glass (Ask) remains relatively “thin”. When liquidity is pumped out of the market, it is much easier for the price to slide up.
• Volume manipulation: If there are no large transactions in the list, but the general on-chain chart shows an outflow, MM accumulates in small batches so as not to “scare” our filters.
🚩 Main risk: Unlock by 8.5%
Unlocking 27 million tokens is almost 10% of the current capitalization. This is huge pressure.
• Scenario: MM accelerates the price upwards over the next 10 days, creating a perfect “bullish” chart.
• Reality: On the day of the unlock (or 1-2 days before it), investors will start to fix profits. These “small steps” in the glass that we see now will disappear instantly, because they do not have much real weight.
💡 Conclusion and strategy:
MM is really preparing a platform for unloading on retail. As the price is “clogging the shelves”, we can see the continuation of a moderate uptrend.
• Plan: Enter long on the current “steps” with short stops below the levels of the covered FVG.
• Exit: Fix the position 48-72 hours before the unlock date. Do not wait for the crowd at the exit - exit while the glass still allows you to do it at a good price.

In reality, they're a key piece for markets to function—though, like any powerful player, they can abuse their power if there are no checks.

🧠 What is a market maker really?

A market maker is an entity (bank, quantitative firm, or crypto) that:

👉 Is always willing to buy and sell an asset

They do this by putting:

Bid price
Ask price

Make money with the spread (the difference between both).

💧 Why are they IMPORTANT? (the part many don't understand)

1. They prevent 'dead' markets

We're breaking down the token $IN . On the chart and in the order books, there's classic Market Maker prep for a big event. Let’s analyze the numbers, on-chain data, and player psychology.

Functions of Market Makers
Market makers perform several essential functions in the cryptocurrency market, including:
Providing Liquidity: They ensure there is enough liquidity between buyers and sellers to maintain active market participation.
Providing Quotes: They offer bid and ask prices at any given time, facilitating trades between market participants.
Risk Management: Market makers manage trading risks and maintain a balanced risk-return ratio to protect their interests and those of their clients.
Providing Advice: They supply market information and analysis to assist clients in making informed trading decisions.
Improving Market Efficiency: By reducing the spread between buyers and sellers, market makers enhance overall market efficiency. Market makers in the crypto industry operate similarly to traditional market makers. They provide market liquidity, execute buy and sell orders instantly, and earn profits from the spreads between these orders. However, due to the relatively unregulated nature of the cryptocurrency market, there is no stringent code of conduct for market makers, and the technical demands for ensuring transaction security are higher.
Market makers follow a simple principle: "buy low, sell high." This approach requires handling large volumes of transactions, sometimes up to tens of thousands per second. They use advanced algorithmic programs to monitor numerous parameters and recalculate forecast prices multiple times per second, thus providing market liquidity without incurring losses. Despite this, even sophisticated trading algorithms can falter due to rapid trade speeds or incorrect price predictions. During periods of high volatility, market makers might incur losses while trying to stabilize the market.
Therefore, a stable or slightly fluctuating market is ideal for them, while days with significant price movements can lead to substantial losses. In essence, while regular market participants react to past events, market makers anticipate future market movements to set optimal buy and sell prices and determine order volumes.
Cryptocurrency exchanges and market makers often collaborate closely. Some exchanges maintain their own market-making teams, while others partner with third-party market makers. This cooperation can take two forms:
Direct Cooperation with Crypto Exchanges: Exchanges offer special programs for market makers, providing personalized trading terminals. Through APIs, exchanges share order book information and market depth with market makers, facilitating pricing and matchmaking.
Indirect Cooperation with Crypto Exchanges: Market makers provide over-the-counter (OTC) market-making services through intermediaries or platforms. Market makers are crucial but not mandatory for liquidity provision on crypto exchanges. They must negotiate terms such as commission distribution and trading volumes with exchanges to ensure profitable and smooth cooperation. Additionally, they must adhere to exchange rules and external regulations to ensure legal compliance. From a trading mechanism perspective, market makers with internal exchange connections play a significant role in price determination, which can help prevent price manipulation to some extent. Their presence enhances exchange liquidity, improving user experience and loyalty, and making the exchange more profitable. Consequently, exchanges often offer discounts to market makers for their activities. $ETH $NOT $CRV
