Market can be manipulated?

[sandiskumen]

I think in all stock markets is no exception, where the control and regulation is tight. The cryptocurrancy market is the best place for manipulation. I doubt that the cryptocurrency price manipulation can only manage one team. I'm sure it's a pope conspiracy and a lot of people are involved. They simultaneously start their actions on all exchanges.

I think it already happens from a long time ago and we don't know this. maybe they can manipulate the price in the market especially for people which have a big money so they can increase or decrease the price. but they cannot do this forever and I am sure that the price changes because of supply and demand although they have a big money to change it.

Of course they can not do this forever, I believe that there is a price manipulation on the market of a coin, but with the note that
the marketcap is smaller than the capital he owns, so he can manipulate the buy and ask in accordance with his financial ability...

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?

I Think Manipulating would require much more than that. Market Prices is not only based on the buy and sell orders of One Cryptocurrency Exchange.
However it could affect the price within the exchanges, but manipulating it is not that possible.
But if they made in a huge scale not only bitfinex. but with other exchanges, it is really possible

I think most altcoin has been manipulated to some extent.
And the BTC I think very few people can manipulate its direction, unless it's a financial institution on Wall Street.

Actually, there are lots of factors that we can consider,
yes the market can be controlled by someone else but I think he or she needs a huge power and wealth in order to that such thing in cryptocurrency.

If the market is not regulated, it will be easy to operate. Besides, there are no rules at present. I think it is very easy.

I think that if the market шы manipulated in this way, then it did not exist at all to this moment. But I think that we will not know the truth ..

[Aivengo111]

I think that scam is a great example of how fraudsters manipulate investors and lure money. We need to fight with it

[Boxxl]

Anyone knows a good video about how this manipulation worked?

It's a really ordinary thing for market to be manipulated even if you see carefully gold and other precious metal is already have been manipulated as well at some point by rich people
cryptocurrency market capitalization is relatively low compared those so it's really possible to be manipulated.

yes it can be manipulated and it has been manipulating for long time. it is a fact that crpyto market is very new and volumes are not so high. also there are several people groups that own huge amount of cryptocurrencies and they manipulate.

I see that the price is probably very large. In particular. some exchanges. It can easily manipulate the price. At the same time, it can also affect the trend of BTC price through Tether. Thus it affects the market.

[Lareina]

The price of this exchange seems to be higher than that of other exchanges. I also discovered this situation when I observed the token in the market.

[BantiHanter]

In my opinion, price manipulation can happen, it can be done by majority holder or group of people with certain purpose.

Most cryptocurrencies manipulate prices. Whales use their own methods to earn retail money. It's no secret. Everybody knows that.

[rickadone]

It is a decentralized market, so it is easier to manipulate when regulations are not even in play and there is no legal action for anyone who ends up doing so until further notice. Sure, it was obvious that the prices of most of the market are being tampered with so as to instigate FOMO and this is done mostly by whales and bitfinex does not have to be the only source. Even with the downtrend, it is still being manipulated.

Due to the nature of decentralized in which a lot of whales have a lot of advantage, I believe manipulation is something that is expected and we can all see that easily. They buy and accumulate at the dip, instigate upward movement, keep driving the price up as they stand nothing to lose as long as the FOMO keeps kicking in and before you know it, the dump happens and everyone who bought at the peak starts running for their lives which results to a huge dump.

Even altcoin markets are heavily manipulated, we cannot expect the high volume markets like ethereum, waves to be manipulated all the days. These markets also get manipulated time to time but at end of the trend, only what most people do take will find the way.

There is a possibility that the market can be manipulated since in this world all things is almost possible with money.
Influence, power and money is a huge matter that can make this thing happen.

the main disadvantage of crypto compared to traditional stock market is that it is not regulated by such authorities as sec and fnra.
The investors and traders are not being safe from manipulation and speculations.

[GFE]

Of course market is manipulated. These big pumps and dumps are mostly market manipulations by whales and other big criptocurrency investors

I'm not sure for me 50% Possible 50% Not. I think it is possible because as you said it may have artifically inflated the price of important coin like bitcoin and ether and 50% not because i based in buying system like if you buy a lot then the market go up.
