Order Book Manipulation
Order book manipulation involves the deliberate use of fake orders to create a false impression of supply or demand. Techniques like layering or spoofing are common, where large orders are placed with no intention of execution to influence the perceived market sentiment.
In the unregulated or semi-regulated segments of the crypto market, this can induce retail traders to buy or sell prematurely. The goal is to move the price in a direction favorable to the manipulator's actual, smaller position.
These activities distort the integrity of the price discovery process and undermine trust in the exchange's transparency.
