Yea, it is easy to spot them, and they are always on the ask side from what I've seen of the V's. They were jumping around on the ask yesterday, and dumping into the bid as soon as they lured a retailer up to their sell point.

Misread your post, sorry. I don't know if that history can be shown, maybe someone else can provide that info. More than likely selling for someone though.

It is relatively easy to see what a specific market maker is doing. It is much more difficult to determine why. A MM who is selling could be selling on behalf of retail, selling on behalf of insiders, selling their own position, shorting on behalf of retail, shorting on behalf of insiders, or establishing a short position for themselves. If you know the "profile" of a MM, you should be able to narrow down the list. VNDM often works directly with promoters unloading shares, so VNDM suddenly showing up selling "might" be an indication of insider selling. Maybe our resident retired MM from Dune could help us out here.
