Sorry if this has been asked before but based on this which you seem to see alot on small caps the tiny share offerings at lower prices would this be a fair assumption
The goal of such manipulation is often to create a misleading impression of market activity. This can be done to influence other investors' decisions, either to drive the price down so that someone can buy more shares at a lower price, or to create a false sense of resistance to push the price higher.The end goal is usually to profit from the subsequent price movements. It's a tactic that can be used by both short-sellers and those looking to buy more shares at a lower price.
