recently is morgan stanley and some western investment bank alliance buying

selling: probably some individual investors in china afraid of the fluctuation of the policy

we should be aware of the statement made by those bankers nowadays, better watch up of them, they are in the play now

if they said something bad, which means they want to buy in some coins

my personal observation

Manipulating the market is illegal if its been prove. But bitcoin price is base on the situation and event i the world also in the market. Prominent people in the market and business world have a large effect in the bitcoin and other crypto currency price, every words they say are have a huge impact that can cause ups or down of the value, but be aware of what they are saying in the media or in an interview or conference as it will make you decide whether to buy some more, hold or sell.

we are already seeing that happening every time they made an statement it affects the value of crypto's and it seems that they are doing it intentionally
to shake someone who's new or those weak holders, I'm sure buying it from Bitstamp would be a good opportunity just needed to wait for some rumors
again to accumulate and ride with the whale.

well, manipulation is everywhere. in any market. even the biggest ones in the whole world. and bitcoin is no exception. it is even smaller in comparison which makes it easier to manipulate.

like the recent events with all the media drama regarding bitcoin and China and afterwards what JP Morgan CEO said about bitcoin.

I have a few more easy bitstamp questions, is this the correct place to ask?

just trying to understand the colours used on the bitstamp platform:

Open New Order: Buy button is green, Sell Button is red

Order Book: Bid price is green, Ask price is red

Last Trade: Green = Buy, Red = Sell?

how does this match up to the order book and what is the sum column?
