Title: Why do all altcoins move in value similarly regardless Post by: ashapasa on June 01, 2017, 06:47:18 AM Why do all altcoins increase in value or decrease together regardless of the quality of the coin. Is the market controlled by a few giant whales who plays the market according to there whims? Price movement of almost all coins are similar even up to hourly trading price movements. Is it people just behaving like sheeps or market manipulation.

Yes I do believe that those tendencies are most of the times started by big whales as plenty of these alts have at least a few holders controlling a substantial percentage of the total availability.

As all the crypto are based value in satoshi So usually if you see all greeen, you could expect the coins value to move together Example 100,000,000 Satoshi Price = $1000 X cost 1,000,000 = $10 If 1 btc moved 10% It will be $1100 Hence, X will move 10% since it is value in.satoshi Title: Re: Why do all altcoins move in value similarly regardless Post by: jtalk on June 01, 2017, 08:50:57 AM Altcoins market are becoming semi independent easy by easy but it still have to face many things. Bitcoin's increase/decrease was having deeper impact on other markets few months ago. Now it only effect if the change in its value is extreme otherwise altcoins are performing by their own. We are in early stages of growing but in future every market will react differently.

Title: Re: Why do all altcoins move in value similarly regardless Post by: talkbitcoin on June 01, 2017, 11:39:27 AM exactly it is because of all the manipulations. the market is small with a very tiny orderbook and volume and then huge whales that get bigger with each pump.
then there are a lot of newbies who are desperate to trade and make money so they lose money! it is their greed that is guiding them and majority of them have never done a trade in their lives before and think they can get in and continue make money just because they made 1 successful trade during a pump!

Though markets manipulation is evidence in crypto currencies markets and we cannot really eliminate that now because of its market capitalizations. Because of the forgone reason we do see coins price always show price movement in one direction. |
