That's a common misunderstanding. Market makers can hide their order sizes by placing small orders and updating them whenever they get a fill. They do this in order to unload or pick up a large order without tipping off other traders and scaring them away. After all, nobody is going to attempt to push through a huge share resistance, but if a persistent reasonable share resistance is there, traders may still think it is a beatable barrier.
