I just answered this question so thought I'd post about it. The question was "why do market makers float the price of $ZEC ?"

They wait for retail FOMO buyers to chase green candles and leverage trade to push price up. This way they don't have to use their own money to move price.

This is why you see these low volume rallies or decreasing volume rallies. Retail eventually gets exhausted when price hits bearish resistance. Once market makers see that exhaustion, they come in with huge shorts. This creates ZERO risk for them as they don't have to use their own capital to drive price up.

So, it's critical you understand that professional traders make money going both ways, not just when price rises. Pros are patient enough to weight for great setups.$ZEC
