I've seen that too. If you'd like a real deep dive into how much manipulation actually goes on with these market makers listen to these podcast episodes with an ex-market maker. He really lays out the inner workings of the markets and let's you know what you're up against. It's from a few months ago and apparently the response was great because they've already done a second interview with him. If you're really into the markets I guarantee you'll find it fascinating. Part 2 delves into the Gamestop "meme stock" event.
