Market can be manipulated?

[Surge_Dev]

Sure, that it is manipulated by someone but this is not the only one person. to my mind, this is a group of people and also a lot of factors that infuence the choice of people, to my mind, the market won't be so manipulated soon

Definitely yes, market hasn't grown that much so some substantial amount of tokens are held by a few individual hence the can decide how the market goes.

[Oasisman]

there is a possibility that the market can be manipulated but it will depends and more likely small chance it may happen.  Because there are lots of people in this world witg different personal of interest.

What small chances are you talking about? Market manipulation is present from the very beginning of the rise of Bitcoin. Even the exchanges have been involved in manipulation. Infact, there were exchanges that has been under investigation subject to market manipulation.
You can consider your self a whale in if you posses 1000 Bitcoin. Imagine if these people works together, dump or buy together.

[GreatBug]

Yes, people, who have really big money can manipulated our cryptocurrency's market, they have a lot of cryptocoins and they can operate on how they want to.

Crypto-currency market us still at infancy and it is therefore easy and prone to unwholesome practices.There are not enough regulations in the space, that makes it worse

Latest article by www.wired.co.uk stated that a newspaper by researchers  at the University of Texas at Austin's department of finance indicates that someone at Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange may have artificially inflated the price of coins including bitcoin, ether, and Zcash. The responsible for this appears to have been Tether, a cryptocurrency with the same CEO as Bitfinex.
What are your thoughts about this? Do you think they really manipulated the price? Is it possible?

Off course. Manipulation happens on every levels of human society settings, especially on economical matter. Every Bitcoin ETF application on 2018 (including by VanEck & SolidX) will likely be rejected because the applicants will have a hard time to explain to SEC on how the crypto market will be 'resistant' to price manipulation.

This is just one of the many ways in which the crypto market can be manipulated, this can be done also by the giants in the media and some government agencies in collaboration.
What is needed is that the government agencies like the SEC make a declaration that is open for interpretation and then media spins it in a way that creates FUD.

with this the market may crash lower due to panic sales and then this manipulators can buy at the low price & drive it up later.

[Adriano2010]

Yes. Market can be manipulated by big investors (whales) and also by some bad news which not always are true. They only trying to get more coins. Why? Because bitcoin is only 21.000.000 total and not more and i think price will grow more in time.

[Rohomus]

It is conceivable yet I trust that it is simply inside a short matter of time and on the off chance that you are holding a colossal measure of token at that point all of a sudden chose to offer every last bit of it at a low cost. Such act will make the crypto advertise fall yet I do question that the landfill will keep going for a week and more probable inside only a solitary day particularly if the token has an expansive market capital and token dissemination.

[s31joemhar]

It depends because some of people your their power in everything they want to achieve although in a bad way but i believe the flow of the transactions in the market are still depends to the law of demand.

[Criptonline]

If you look at the graph of the cost of bitcoin, it becomes clear that the price of the coin is artificially manipulated. The cost varies too sharply, falls or grows by several hundred dollars in a few minutes. This is not the case in conventional markets.

If we take an asset controlled by the state, we can safely talk about artificial overstatement. Bitcoin is not controlled by the state, so the "yellow press" is so active!

Bidders at crypto exchanges make their own decisions. No one forces them to buy or sell altcoys by force. Manipulation, that is, swinging the price of a coin, is very understandable for all bidders, even novices. And how to react to the situation of each participant. It's a crypto market, not the nearest gas station.

[BeEvil]

Of course, if you have a capital you can manipulate by the market, even with a small depo you can manage the exchange rate of altcoins on exchanges with small volumes.

[BattleZeo]

Yeah, sure. First of all, they use manipulation through the media: Internet Newspapers, TV.

[Do4a]

Of course the market can be manipulated but only if you have all the necessary resources, namely a lot of money. Basic manipulators now this exchange, they move the course where they want

[Dandyhunter]

I think that large whales manipulate the crypto currency market for a long time. But we can not do anything about it, because we do not own a lot of bitcoins.

[diamdirumah]

If viewed from the appeal of a very large community, of course, it can be done. But to do this requires substantial funds and people who have the ability. And we can only hope that the market will soon recover and crypto will many people doing the trade.

Yes the market can be manipulated and quite easily if you ask me. Also I believe that the exchanges are in on it when the price of the coins are being manipulated because that is where it starts from. The best way to manipulate the market is through the buy and sell walls that are on the exchanges thereby giving the coins a false value.

[24hexchange]

Yes, it can be and this problem has to be solved with giants that play not hte least role here. We have to make crypto independent from all its sides.
