Do you think that the price is fully manipulated?

[rocketbits]

it might be that many people want big profits so he spread fud about crypto and makes everyone panic and sell his assets, when the btc value goes down then he will buy it and wait till its value goes back up.

Price will face with upheaval situations and it faced and has been facing which is our fault, though there is nothing to worry but we all are foolish to make irrelevant decisions being educated. I have concerned on people as they sell directly without looking at market price which is low these days and they sell immediately as the price increases a little and this act declines the price further.

Most likely it was manipulated indirectly by the crypto whales. We all know that investors affect the market price, by dumping and buying coin it really have great impact to the price. The whales are those have big money that put and withdraw in the market. Their movement was the term we called manipulation. But in real world they are just like normal investor buy and sell.

I had the same feeling too, but I cannot find any evidence to prove that. It is very relieved to see your thread. Besides  governments, I believe many dark organisations are also trying to manipulate the market.

I think that it was really strange that in January when BTC went down all big cryptocurrency exchanges closed registration for new members and they opened it only when the price was low. Then at spring when the downtrend was broken(7000$) there were many news that cryptocurrency now will go up! But whales just made big shorts at 10 000 $and all the news said that cryptocurrency won't go up for along time and market went down to current position.

In my own opinion, prices cannot be manipulated because it was depending on the supply and demand in the market, however there are people who cannot bear the heat when the market prices are dropping.

Currently cryptocurrency market has low market cap and the price just like pump and dump , because with low market cap will be more easy for whales to manipulate the price. Crypto market is just young market and need acouple year more for the market cap going to atrillion dollar, and when the market cap going to multi trillion dollar will be more hard for whales to manipulate it.

most of the market is manipulated that's why we have something called technical analysis. it will show the sentiments and prediction of the market. without market manipulation, it will be useless. unless there is a pump and dump which manipulation that can not be predicted.

Man, you can never predict this manipulation even if you are a real expert in technical analysis. The whales that hold almost all Bitcoins can do whatever they want.

[Surge_Dev]

I think that the main factor is the relation of the supply and demand, there are many factors that influence the price but it is not obvious which one influences it now, i m not expert maybe because of this

[Shinpako09]

No it wasn't but I believe there are times that it was really manipulated or so it look like. But I disagree that price is fully manipulated. Price normally goes down if there is bad news that could affect it like hacking, banned, anything that could result to price fall.

[merrillolive]

In my opinion, if you manipulate the market, only in a short time will the market recover, which lasts for the first 6 months of 2018, the price of the coin continuously decreases, so can not be called manipulation. .

I think if 50% of the total assets of btc or more could manipulate and control the price of btc, as we know china is the country with the world's largest btc miner
any news coming from China always has a significant impact on BTC prices

It was definitely most likely manipulated by some unknown whales which affects most in the current situation in the market. This is what we called the price correction that really affects on the market value. This affects all of us, all of the investors and all of the traders and users.

Some markets are manipulated by whales.
a whale can put walls on the list just to bag the number of tokens they want.
they can also stop for a while a bull run just to get some tokens before it goes to the moon./

no, I think it is not manipulated "fully" but there are people who can make huge impact on the price. They are the whales,they are big market players and can somehow manipulate the price through their power.

[tothanhtuan]

People are anticipating for btc price pump because of all the rumors about btc "skyrocketing after ETF". Which make people sell their cheap alts at a loss some even at around -50% above loss. For me the more logical strategy is to buy the blood on the streets so I just scoop up as much alts that I can for long hold, but that is just me and I am also trying to hold some btc in my port to be safe this is not financial advise tho.

[fluctuations]

To say it completely manipulated, I think it is very difficult. Sharks can only control 60% of the market price. But to say full control then I think there is no such thing.

Demand has a big role in the pump, but the property of being unstable itself is still a factor to this manipulation, so we can't really put it in a way that whales always control the market although the contribution for their investments in quantifying matter is really high. Even the non-whales like the panic sellers becomes a large factor in rubbing the salt into the emotional wounds of a common trader here.

Whales doesn't control the market, always its not possible I think. The usual demand and supply does provides a great factor towards its up and down. But I will say whale often triggers the rise or fall. Also the news around the globe also matters for the movement. And aahhh! the panic sellers, right, lol, they are the most dangerous part of the market.

[anisoptera]

Well it has always been like that, and there is nothing surprising with that, i think that the prices have always been manipulated, and exactly the same thing is happening with a bunch of coins that are already solid on the market.

[Carlosfeer12]

The prices are not manipulated but sometimes they are, and you must be smart.

[bendingappaloosaH]

The whales manipulate the prices and imagine yourself being a what to know the process.

[galinskiydmitriy]

All that you described above once again proves to us that the crypto-currency market is not manipulated by stock exchanges or large whales. The movement of the market depends entirely on the opinion of the majority, so you can only blame yourself.
