Market can be manipulated?

[Carina.P]

Of course you can manipulate the market. If you have large volumes of coins, then you can sell them at a very low price, at the same time, they can collapse the market, or buy at a very high price, thereby forcing the market to grow.

yes, but this is only for a few people that could manipulate the market especially if they can make people become panic and they can move the price to higher or lower. maybe we see this is already happening in this year because when we can reach $19k suddenly, after the new year, the bitcoin price is down and the market is changing the price. this makes people afraid and in that time, there is a big sell of bitcoin that is happening in the market.

There should be several large teams that manipulate the coins with great influence, thereby creating panic and causing a sharp fall in prices.

Yes, the market must be manageable, including the stock market. Bitcoin is unlikely to be manipulated, and the average group can't manipulate it, but some tokens can be manipulated, so be careful.

Most recent article by www.wired.co.uk expressed that a daily paper by specialists at the University of Texas at Austin's branch of back shows that somebody at Bitfinex cryptographic money trade may have misleadingly expanded the cost of coins including bitcoin, ether, and Zcash. The in charge of this seems to have been Tether, a cryptographic money with an indistinguishable CEO from Bitfinex.
What are your contemplations about this? Do you think they truly controlled the cost? Is it conceivable?

[CADguy]

Of course, manipulating the cost is possible, but most likely, this is only possible thanks to very large companies that have at least several million funds

[ozgurk]

I agree with you. It is possible, the market open the manipulation because crypto market is very young and not stable. Market volume is not very much.

[JeromeL]

The market of crypto currency is manipulated as well as other markets. The more money you have, the easier it is to manipulate.

The market of crypto currency is manipulated as well as other markets. The more money you have, the easier it is to manipulate.

Anyway, simple money does not affect simple currency money, but if you have a lot of Bitcoin and aetherium, then a lot of these coins can really create certain situations on the crypto currency market.

[cryptomanspbmgdn]

you can and should, and yet it happens every day, we just do not notice it, and someone shaves hamsters)

[iwah]

It could be true because if people can pump a coin in an exchange and later dump it thereby making the coin to drop then it could be possible that market are been manipulated by someone people that's my opinion.

[prechi]

Yes, the market can be manipulated. In some upward movement on a coin, some whales are behind it and it's one of the games played. some exchanges can manipulate the market also to make traders jump in thereby causing a pump in price of a coin

[vastmast]

Ofcourse market can manipulated. We see new news every day, exchanges have huge whales. Having a fairly easy atmosphere to be manipulated you can make a lot of money if you have the same coins as the whales

[magicrypto]

Sure it is, because of a not very big capitalization, any big trading move can change whole market, i think it can be more stable one day, market needs to be more mature and bigger.

[miracle24]

Of cos the market can be manipulated if a huge fund is involved. Low cap coins can be easily pumped with a hug buy wall, fomo sets in and the whale has to do is dump.

[desciglio2]

Manipulation in the crypto currency market is constantly moving. It's almost impossible to prevent this.
If the market is be very strong, the manipulations diminish. I hope one day the manipulation ends.

[gabrielkings]

Sure it can.... it has happened severally

[sevenbits]

Crypto market certainly develops very quickly, but it is still very small compared to the stock. And as practice shows, stock can be manipulated by anyone who has a resource. I think logic extends to crypto.

[GreatArkansas]

Yes, market is easy to manipulate, specially here in cryptocurrency. There are many whales there or big business people who can easily manipulate the price of cryptocurrency, specially when can also control the media, they can easily earn money by manipulating the market.

[SuperP]

I think that the market is manipulated by most people at short distances because for a long time people play a key role

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'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.

You may as well just stay on one side as you cannot be on the two sides at the same time. Take it or leave it, this has become a highly manipulated market and it shows how the whales, institutions or whatever has taken it on themselves to just pump the market whenever they like, and dump it whenever they like.
The fact that this is an unregulated market; it is something we have to deal with until when it starts getting regulated in a way to curb some of the manipulated activities.

[Eugenar]

It is possible but I believe that it is just within a short matter of time and if you are holding a huge amount of token then suddenly decided to sell all of it at a low price. Such act will make the crypto market fall but I do doubt that the dump will last for a week and more likely within just a single day especially if the token has a large market capital and token circulation.
