The most commonly used tactics by market makers are "washing" and "lifting".

Washing usually occurs at the bottom, where market makers create a short-term rapid decline to induce panic, scaring away retail investors with unstable mindsets. During a lift, the rise happens quickly, not giving retail investors a chance to enter the market, causing them to buy at high prices when they are conflicted.

If we can see through these tactics of the market makers, maintain our composure during their washing at low prices, avoid panic selling, and not blindly chase high prices during a lift,

having our own fixed trading rhythm and just taking a little "fish body" by riding their coattails, then we will not be caught at high positions, and the market makers will have no way to deal with us retail investors.
