Market can be manipulated?

[dumplingsandsushi]

You don't need an article to tell you that the market can be manipulated, all you have to do is look at the market history.

As far as bitfiniex goes, it is on my list of evil exchanges (poloniex, cryptoia, and hitbtc are all on the evil list).
They have tremendous power to manipulate the market and there is almost nothing we can do about it.
We don't control the keys to the exchange wallets, they aren't regulated by any reliable authority, and can just take coins away due to "technical error"

The whole tether thing is an obvious price grab.
The idea behind it, that every tether is backed by actual us dollars in a bank account is absolutely ridiculous.
Tell me, has anyone been able to cash in their tether ever for a 1 tether to 1USD ratio from tether themselves?
Yeah, scam scam scam.

Crypto is in a very volatile and dangerous place right now.

The current market, apparently, is largely controlled not by ordinary purchases and sales, but by exchange manipulation in the spot market in order to use the current dynamics of the leverage trade.
Why do exchanges do this - because the constantly decreasing volume leads to a decrease in the total commission income for exchanges, as well as to the incentive to manipulate the price to get income from liquidation rather than trading fees.

I think it is manipulated now, because capitalisation of market is growing! but market is falling, I think some big companies could manipulate market

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?

right now, you're manipulating the market without you knowing it, there are only rumors that can change the direction of the market.

I think due to the number of small submarkets it can be easily be manipulated. And since the regulation is not as strict as the established traditional ones, this can really happen. That's why signal groups are influential as well and a bit of a trend

In crypto, manipulation is simply noticeable starting from the day bitcoin had been discovered. All the news and rumors about crypto can easily affect and manipulate the market even it is fake. This is crypto and we should be immune with that,.

[Casalania]

its possible. a few months before, market is being manipulated by some people, it highly affects the market by spreading FUD's.

[thinknow11]

Manipulation is real in cryptocurrency market. However, there are lots of factors responsible for this manipulation e.g developers, whales, government policy, media and so on

[Piskeante]

this market is pure manipulation.

THAT'S WHY PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT BY THE END OF THE YEAR THE MARKET WILL HAVE RECOVERED BECAUSE IT DID LAST YEAR , ARE LYERS AND STUPID PEOPLE YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST BY ANY MEANS.

Can be manipulated, the stock market is also possible, when the large funds into the trend is certainly rising. Besides, the encryption market is now not regulated. Feel more easily manipulated. Anything can happen.

[otunayode]

Market manipulations happens all the time unofficially! In an open market as such as we have cryptocurrency, the depth of your market determine the control or the power you can exert on prices. People with big capital use open market to their advantage.

Yes for sure because there are a lot of whales on crypto just waiting for the right moment to earn more money by manipulating the market through pumping and dumping it, some could manipulate it through shilling as well.

At this stage, no one should even still be thinking if the market is manipulated or not, as this is clearly obvious. Robots are being used daily to make market run in pleasing ways by the whales.

We keep getting some wrong signals just to implement stop losses and the whales gaining a lot from it, which is even very hard with margin or future trading, and all these things can be clearly seen as to how the whales are greedily manipulating the market to their advantage just because they just want to have it all.

While the market is so unstable - anyone can manipulate it and community often believe in fake so some people tty to use it in there interests.

Those who have more bags of crypto they can able to manipulate the market. It is possible and do exists the manipulation were true. This is so happen that price are very unstable so whales are also presents in the market.

[chenjkai]

it is difficult to manipulate the market, but it is possible. This is done by large traders who try to attract the attention of small traders to certain coins..

[JackdunR]

Maybe this time the whales are withdrawing capital from the market, so the price of the penny fell sharply, but it is also an action to manipulate the market. Maybe they will pump in this August.

[bungutko]

As per assumption,  I think that the market price value of  btc and alts were merely manipulated by these whale investors making it a bearish market.  In most cases,  I believe this is usually happening on the btc currency market in which case this is the baseline of almost majority of tbe alternative coins resulting to a domino effect creating a down trend market.

[coinholic]

Sad, but yes. The market can be manipulated by whales. Due to the massive amounts of coins these whales hold in their stash, they can easily manipulate the price trend of the market whenever they buy and sell. Which is pretty much hard to predict whenever they would do so. Which is why we should be keen in observing market movements so we could take advantage of any opportunity that would arise.

The market on a general level is manipulated by different people at different stages. First, we see pump and dump groups inflating prices so high just to crash it after few minutes, again we see the whales who keep suppressing the price just for them to buy low and inflate the price when they want to sell.

[Soniapanesar]

yes people manipulate market because they participate in future trading and they manipulate as per their trading.
