Do you think the whales are manipulating the markets

[sclmte]

Yes., I think they manipulating it. But unfortunately, I don't have any proof about that.
Actually, if I see the market chart, sometimes I see unusual pumping to make the price up.

Though we can say that they are manipulating market prices but seems to be not bad at all. In fact, they just helping crypto starters to build their investment in here and don't make big losses. Anyway, isn't the only reason of having price fluctuation but also FUD's created by some group of people which could only lead them for misunderstanding the prospect of crypto in the community.

[Sadlife]

That could be possibly cause ive read some articles that's discussing a large amount of spoof(fake) trading volumes are being transact in exchange/trading sites in order to manipulate the market to make a bullish or bearish run. That's why the US government is regulating exchanges and investigating it's past transactions.

I think yes.. whales manipulate the price of crypto. Because if a whale buy on that coin with a huge amount. There are big chances that coin will be pump because of hia investment with huge amount. But if the whales decide to sell it it will dump. Remember huge amount sell can lead to dump coin..

There are no second thoughts in it. This market is heavily manipulated by Whales and that is why new investors are so afraid to enter this market.
I keep conducting surveys at my end to know why other friends and colleagues of mine are not entering this market and this is the exact reason they give that the market is too volatile and they are not willing to risk their investments. That is why the total market cap has been falling.

the whale that has a lot of capital will drive the bitcoin price, you can take the example of the currently defined whale is mtgox when he sells bitcoin that bitcoin will collapse because the bitcoin is very much owned.

[DMCR lah]

I can not imagine the 'whale' does not have anything better than manipulating the market. There may be coordinated pumps or dumps (which can be achieved with relatively small amounts of money in this market), but not every price movement is caused by whales.

[MrRiuss]

yes, if you want to say that. but they do it in the smart way. its hard to prove that.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

Not really . I think this still affects someone who sells their assets in large quantities in good market conditions and gets a chance from there.
while the market's desire to keep rising is still strong and sellers may also hold their coins.
there comes a time when the coin keeps decreasing and the demand for bitcoin increases. it's happened a lot.

[udonmez]

their affect is decreasing in major coins however they can easily manipulate low volume coins. Each day they are getting more professional so tracking them is getting harder day by day.

Hi guys ,
Do you think the whales are manipulating the markets ?? Has any one noticed that the current bull run that has been on for the last few weeks comes to a halt every time it reaches the 10 k mark and slides down . My theory is that whales sell at 10k and then create fud so market slides down only to buy back and pump . What do you think ?

I think not only the whales are controlling the price of bitcoin, it can be some government and those people that against this bitcoin who created FUD to spread bad news. Although whales will be a big factor on the price manipulation as they can dumps bigger amount of bitcoin to down the price and buyback once the weak hands sell their coins and make the whales get easy money from the weak hands.

Whales or big holders cannot sell their coins because it will make their coin crash, every developers know that and i do not think that they will sell a huge amount in the market since it will destroy their own business.

[ricardobs]

Absolutely yes, that's why the market in volatility and a total decline. Moreover, The whales ( capitalists ) always manipulating the prices of the  whole market especially Bitcoin, because everything is linked or related to the king BTC, when the wales sell a large amounts of Bitcoin, then all the market will fall, so there is a relation between the best cryptourreny (BTC)  and the followers ( like, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin....).

As a matter of fact, I think there are some goals of the capitalists, maybe when the market will fall with a huge value, then they will re-buy again a different crytocurrencies and at that moment, the majority of coins will rise with  an acceptable value (Big pump ) . so the  only appropriate choice in this bad situation is Holding, and if you want a big profit, be patient and wait for  the good surprise.

Yes, whales are manipulating the market, we know that investments are taking place in large quantity and this will benefit the market of Bitcoin which in turn will benefit investors or users. These more investments contribute to the market of Bitcoin and will raise its value which will expand the value. Besides large whales even the low investments are also contributing which are very necessary.

[hsyncl]

They are completely influential. If there were no bales, be sure that the market we were in was at least 5 times more valuable. All the men want is to make money for what they want to do. The market has collapsed, not in their care, certainly.

[Siren]

I don't think the current market status has a lot to do with whales manipulating the markets. Whales can manipulate the market, yes! But too much "artificial" manipulation can lead to the severest form of FUDs which might deter new crypto investors. I bet the whales don't want that to happen.

Indeed! a lot of whales are manipulating it but we cannot do something about it at the moment since that is their way of earning and it is their advantage because they believe in it so much, so if we really believe in it too then we must know how they works or how they play the market by studying their action.

Theres nothing important for them but profit,so what do they care about what will happen in investors or even the whole market as long as they are gaining good income from what are they doing

This is total manipulation,they are the one whos creating fud spreading fake news so they will have reason to bring the market down so cheap prices is what they can have

Yes that is their job to manipulate their market tokens. Manipulating the price of the tokens thats why trading now are so unpredictable. Im so upset that the whales are existing and whales now are so huge so no one can stop them. Cryptocurrency whales nowadays are so aggressive they want all of the money so they are so aggressive

[nightways]

Yes! I so think so too. Whales actually control the prices of crypto currency by buying and selling at the most opportune time. Then again, it's also our fault for letting coins be available in the market. We should always hold and buy more so we take the control from the whales. Let's just stop panic selling and actually invest on crypto currency

Of course they do, I believe they are the reason the price of Bitcoinkeeps on fluctuating up and down. We do know that the price of Bitcoin is volatile, but if everyone ismaking normal investment I don’t think it will fluctuate that much like it does.It’s due to the whales that are putting in heavy amount of money to make the price go up and down so they can make profit out of it. Well, if not volatility, what else could be the fun of investing in Bitcoin. At least we make profit from the Hodl.

Whales, bots, government and fud spreaders are  manipulating the market. Whales want to sell high and buy back at lower price.  Fud spreaders are those people who are against Bitcoin.

Yes, every person who is negative about the Bitcoin will always spread negative news towards the investors. Most of the people will not bother about the positive news about the Bitcoin, negative news will spread more fastly compared to positive. This makes people panic about the Bitcoin price.

[sergiom]

I think yes, earning big money, what they need and only that. They are doing everything they want on the market at any time. This is not very honest.

[satriagedhe]

maybe yes maybe not , its can be yes if every whales do it togther , hard to do just by 1-5 whale
need coordinate to manipulate like that
