NITE placed another 5.3M on bid...

NITE is not dilutor !

Maybe they are covering short positions

Why Are Market Makers Important?

Like it or not, your fate is in the hands of market makers since they essentially control the stock market. Your order placed to buy or sell a stock on the OTC Markets will usually pass through one of the more trusted sources like NITE, ATDF, ETRF, and ARCA. Seeing a level 2 screen which only has these on it is what’s referred to as a “Clean Level 2” – one with no dirty hands on it. Typically, these four are there to do what markets makers are supposed to do which is simply fill buy & sell orders without attempting to manipulate the behaviour pattern of a particular stock.

CDEL, CSTI, CANT (now GTSM)
The list above is based on order of recent activity with AEXG being the most active in transactions and CRTC the least active. The “Three C’s”: Citadel Securities (CDEL), Canaccord Genuity (CSTI) and Cantor Fitzgerald (CANT) are almost always on a ticker together with the four more trusted sources mentioned above. While these “Three C’s” are rarely toxic diluters, they can be heavy short sellers at times, taking advantage of a good thing which is part of the game.
