Why is it market manipulation if price goes down and then up...

[dogtana]

Because around 65% of all bitcoin is owned by only 0.07% of all wallets and BTC is in fact highly centralised, thus the price is easy to manipulate. Sadly altcoin prices are still tied to BTC but that will change and the market won't be as volatile anymore. With wider adoption prices will grow steadily and patience will reward us all.

Market manipulation is indication if the price is sudden up or down most of tome this is common in fiat currency trade. For crypto community there are whales are the one that pump and dump the market if you have lots of crypto volume you can move the price. But sometimes a certain news can move the market like what happ now if the news is negative he market is down or there woll be a panice selling if the news is good a bullish is there so beware of that.

One can really not say without any strong evidence if it is market manipulation or not. Yes , we can believe that it might be , but then its just oir assumption since it keeps happening from time to time and because we have seen such incidents in our pasts. A market manipulation can occur if the price of a cryptocurrency surges in one direction quickly. Large transaction volume takes place and people get influenced through this easily thinking to grow rich in a short time.

Word also has it that current manipulators are going to get manipulated themselves by more powerful forces. They should brace themselves .

Yes, you are absolutely right. But the problem is that it is very difficult to understand when the price falls as much as possible. This is used by manipulators. There is no minimum in the crypto market. Any currency can fall to zero. Not everything is so simple in this market. We must analyze the situation deeply.

Whales are manipulating the value of certain coins, its hard to know how they can really manage to take advantage but they really love shaking those
panic holders, when they feel that they already have a lots of holdings they will start pumping the price making it reasonable for the new traders to ride
with what they've doing not knowing that behind the pumped the incoming dumped is very much stronger and for some instances they became a victim
of the manipulators.

Yes you are right. But this is not always true. Sometimes the cost of a coin begins to fall precipitously or rise because someone beforehand has learned the bad or good news. And you are confused, because you do not know what to do. You can not answer the main question. What is the reason for the decline in value? This is manipulation is artificial or really something bad happened to the project and investors are in a hurry to return at least part of the investment. I think the lack of information is the main problem.
