Is BTC to USD, for example, simply dictated by free market behavior? How stagnate do BTC sales have to become to cause major price drops?

usually after a greater stanation, there is a increase, and no when we were at 1200 there was no a great stagnation, it was a slow fall

instead you cna talk about a great stagnation, when we were at 2xx, and then there was the pump to 4xx-500

It's a free market by name, but in reality it isn't. It's heavily being controlled by large players and the exchanges themselfs. I think if the price doesn't move much for 1 month or perhaps even longer, then some traders might dump their coins out of boredom. Or the exchanges will create a bull run to make people excited so they can generate a good fee income again.

I also figure it's controlled by majority holders and what behavior they use at exchanges. They raise the price 25% few buy a while and then it becomes normalized and sales get up to some rate based on the price. When x amount sale low it starts a surge and smart investors probably have a figure where if price raises by that much they assume there is going to be a big increase where they can dump.

It's not as bad as forex, options, and securities though where there are a lot of demographics who act spontaneously even to a small news article..

You can't speculate accurately on any of it. You can pick an average-change and hope it works out.. Of course it typically happens at a rate of week with BTC. Which just means there aren't enough parties holding shares..

Actually you got it all wrong and in reality is the other way around. Sales flow it's not directly proportional to the value going up therefor a stop into the sales, wouldn't be the reason for it's value to drop but the few of those people from the so called whale club have the most effect on BTCitcoin by manipulating the market since they have majority of BTCitcoins in comparison to the rest of market in terms of ratio.
