Great question. Something's going on beyond MM manipulation. When MMs play such games, it's not often this slow and steady and dragged out, as far as I know or suspect. This looks like a methodical exit by a big holder. Sure someone is buying but price drops when there are more sellers than buyers. Systematically offering more shares for sale every day than buyers want to buy has resulted in this slow drop.
