Sometimes the MM widens the spread to trigger the stops.

In volatile markets they can get away with this without much
suspicion of fowl play. They lower the bid to a point that
a stop is uncovered. For example, when a bid is executed at
the reduced value, they can then buy the stopped out shares.

I believe the term is reffered to as "gunning the stops".
