Why call it dilution?
Stock dilution is a general term that results from the issue of additional common shares by a company, this we know and in this case no additional shares are being issued.
The increase in common shares of a stock can result from a secondary market offering, employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants into stock and this is not the case.
We know Dilution can shift fundamental positions of the stock such as ownership percentage, voting control, earnings per share, or the value of individual shares.
A broader definition specifies dilution as any event that reduces an investor's stock price below the initial purchase price.
In this case I would just say these market makers are playing and making a quick buck which is all they have been doing in the past 2 years.
