Market makers are key players in the crypto market, ensuring liquidity, price stability, and predictable trading ranges. They do not aim to profit from predicting price direction; instead, they earn from the spread between buy and sell prices, consistently operating on both sides of the market. Their activity shapes price structure, market depth, and the behavior of retail traders.
At Valtrix Group, we analyze market maker behavior and transform this data into algorithmic trading strategies, turning their activity into a consistent profit source for our investors. We see market makers not as competitors but as a reference point for building precise and reliable trading decisions.
Who Are Market Makers and Why They Matter
A market maker is a participant who simultaneously places buy and sell limit orders, maintains market depth, and stabilizes the spread. In the crypto space, market makers can be:
- professional algorithmic trading firms;
- in-house teams employed by exchanges;
- automated AMM pools on DEXs.
They “hold” prices to stabilize markets, fulfill obligations to exchanges, and create the appearance of strong liquidity — attracting traders. For long-term investors, this ensures more predictable trade execution and reduced market risk.
How Market Makers Manage Liquidity
Market makers employ a wide range of tactics:
- Range control through order layering and spread adjustments based on volatility;
- Iceberg orders to hide true order size while showing only a fraction;
- Liquidity manipulation — temporarily creating or removing large orders to provoke movement;
- Impulse control via rapid liquidity withdrawal or addition at key points.
These actions not only create microtrends but also allow experienced firms like Valtrix Group to identify high-probability trade opportunities with precision.
How to Use Market Maker Activity in Trading Strategies
Traders can leverage market maker activity by:
- entering positions near stable order book walls, using them as support or resistance;
- avoiding false breakouts often engineered by market makers to trigger stop orders;
- tracking market maker activity ranges to follow shifts in fair value;
- working with newly listed tokens, where market makers set the initial price corridor.
