Do you think the markets are being manipulated right now?

Why? Why not

I've heard both sides of the argument and to a certain extent, they both make sense more or less.

Thoughts?

Manipulation comes from everyone, even from ordinary investors. Reducing the emission of the ether, fear for their money from large whales, the summit all this affects and not for the better. The market in this state is very easy to shake up both the worse side and the better.

It might be yes but moreover no, because if it is really manipulated then this downfall will not take longer than we are thinking of. But no one really knows what is going on the crypto currency, what we can do is to think of the brighter side so that everything will be back to the way it was.

For me it is yes, the markets are being manipulated right now. I don't know, but in my mind i have a feeling that the market is manipulated.we know the dropping price is continue and continue. The price from the falling down up to rising up. They control the dropping rate and then attract more investor and then more newcomers are come.this is my opinion

yes, I thought the same as you and besides that, the dropping is not too fast but slowly its down and then back to high like you said. they make a lot of profit by doing this and they can buy a lot of bitcoin from the down of the price. I cannot imagine how desperate people which buy bitcoin at a high price and I am sure that they still waiting for the increase in the price. but I still believe that the price will increase again.

what makes that manipulation? please explain from which angle you think.
I do not see any major manipulation, but this is a clear scenario planned by some countries and internet giants. one by one began to ban it, this made a big accident. but I think bitcoin can survive. I do not know what will happen later. but if all this has passed, crypto growth will never be stopped.

Only "blind" traders and investors didnt see how invisiable hand try to make price of btc lower and lower. There are a lot of fake news, and bitcoin continue its fall. I believe that there are some "cryptocartel" consists of big banks, social media and politicians which manipulating the cryptomarket.

Its hard to tell if the market is being manipulated by billionaires or group of billionaire. We need some evidence to make our suspicions believable.

[aprilnot]

I think yes, because the view of the price movement is not normal. like there is a big agenda that will happen soon. the worst is there are people who want crypto destroyed.

[Condoriano]

I do think so. Someone is behind every crash of market. If you think about it way back few years market is very quite and discreet but suddenly it become mainstream. A very big group of rich people is actually pulling the trigger when and how they will control it. It just like the central bank controlling the economy worldwide.

It is obvious that is being manipulated. Altcoins as a special mention are more manipulated than bitcoin because bitcoins has more widespread in terms of holders. Majority of altcoins are being pump up by whales that is why it is more risky than bitcoin.

There's so many evidence that the market is being manipulated out there, it's a group of billionaire and you can imagine that people with really strong power unite to control something it's really possible, especially if the whole market cap is still below that grup's resources.
Also, recently leaked that some whales dumping btc every 15 minutes so it's real, just read it on medium or steemit, if I recall someone has already addressed this and write it down to their private blog and it's really interesting story to read.

yes it is, there's a lot of people wants to manipulate it, some of it are from government who wants to enter the crypto world. by spreading false information they manipulate its price, and it opens an opportunity for them to invest at a lower value.

[standards]

I don't care if the market is being manipulated or not.
As long as there are more and more people like me who truly believing in cryptocurrency, it will grow.
Manipulation can only have control of the market for a short period.

[prdn]

absolutely, they're spreading a lot of bad news and they're trying to lower the market value.

[Princessjilian]

For me, yes the market is being manipulated right now. Especially by the big investors, they will going to hold the altcoins in order to control its price. They will let the price to go down, then the small investors will going to panic so they will going to sell even if they were loss. Thats the time for the big investors to buy and sell at a higher price.

I actually think they're indeed. People are using all this fud to push the prices down but there is not really a good reason for mood to be getting worse with crypto regulations coming...

[josgandosbro]

of course all prices go up and down there is manipulation from certain parties to take advantage. therefore they can make a profit for them and make the price changes

[Stimah24]

Absolutely, they keep manipulating the market through the Pump and Dump, fake news, also the FUD, they are using the supply of Bitcoin to manipulate other coins.  I just hope things become back to normal before its goes out of hand.

[Minecache]

The market has been manipulated for a long time. Large tycoons want to dominate this market since they realized that bitcoin can make them very rich. Unfortunately we can not resist this, just to adapt...

[Singwala]

I think the market is now in control of the so-called Whales, So it's frightening to invest now because big investors are gaining profit. The best thing to do is to get along with them and also feel what their end points are.

[Malbaunti]

My opinion is that the market is always manipulated. Whales are turning the market around the way they need to make more money from us.

I also feel that way, something weird with the price of crypto now.
as its price is deliberately dropped for a particular interest, then returned to normal
