That's how MMs make the market.
If the MMs whacked the Ask up to 25p-30p, they would be flooded with sellers, people who'd bought last week and were cashing in, longer-term holders who want to lock in a bit of profit, people who'd bought in at 25p then got scared by the drop and wanted out. The MMs would be left holding stock, which is exactly what they don't want.
The MMs will raise the price to a level we'd consider disappointing, because it will flush out the 10-20%ers from the past week, but won't flush out the ones who can see the greater value on offer here. If the selling dries up at that level, they'll raise it a little more, always trying to balance buys and sells.
