So a couple of things to add. It's an obvious thing to state but perhaps misunderstood, MM make the market, IE they are obliged to provide liquidity IE if any one wants to trade they are obliged to trade in a certain size if they publish that price. Therefore they set the share price, so they manipulate the SP all day every day.
They have a book of stock and they can either run it short or long but their objectives is to purely make money. Tricks they might play is to shake the tree. Here they drop the price early, may though a round 10p price to encourage sellers. They take on the stock to then run the SP higher.
