Market manipulation tactics don't always need elaborate schemes to go unnoticed. You see this play out constantly across mid-cap tokens with decent liquidity. The pattern is pretty recognizable once you know what to look for. Watch when major wallet addresses start dumping positions simultaneously, yet the order book stays thin with only 10-20 active participants actually moving volume. The chart action looks clean and trending, but it's just a handful of players coordinating candle movements when retail traders are sleeping or distracted. No organic buying pressure, no real trading activity from the broader market—just price being painted on a low-liquidity canvas. It happens more often than people realize.
