MM's in general just represent retail buyers and sellers (like you and me).

If you place a buy or sell order, your broker will send this to a MM (whichever they choose). If there's alot of buy and sell orders, logically more MM's will show up.

It's very likely that MM's like NITE have 10's if not 100's of sell orders at .0001, and show 5000 size, while another MM has only 1 or 2 sellers, and also showing a 5000 size ...

You can't really tell in the pinks.

I think there's always been quite some MM's on the ASK (And as we did not have a bid, this cannot really be used as a reference point smile )

Of course now the ask went up, and there's 8 MM's at the bid, so that actually makes it look pretty good!

I'm pretty sure the ask will thin on Monday (and hopefully move to .0003 or .0004, but that'll depend on the volume.
