Market can be manipulated?

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?

This is total lie! Bitfinex bought bitcoins with their US dollars which were converted into Tether. It has already been proved!

Yeah there's proof of transparency for USDT aswell and their USDT compared to their funds is already confirmed legit, so this topic is not valid anymore. Even if bitfinex manipulate the market, the only chance is that they are using  their real money to do the manipulation, but it will requires a gigantic resource maybe approximately hundred millions dollar.

Unfortunately for manipulation in the market you need not so much, it is enough to have sufficient volume of money and a well-coordinated team.

Yes it can be if you are one of the millionaires of the world you can readily manipulate the market and create some pumps but it wont guarantee profit.

I think it can not be manipulated, if so then the market would be corrupted, many would take advantage for the prices.

This is not true that CEO of both company are the same what is mean is that the CSO of bitfinex and tether is the same but they are already step down on there duties. Please see this link: https://bitcoinist.com/chief-strategy-officer-of-bitfinex-and-tether-resigns/

I think it is not possible and some people or community are jealous from the crypto market that's way they are manipulating crypto. Some countries are already introduce regularity authority then how it can possible? In the real world crypto is continuously achieving new destination and people are giving their support. People are also making profit on their investment.

Of course the crypto market  is manipulated. Just look on the graph, it would be impossible at controlled market without manipulation

[Sean25pogi]

It depends but I think  market can’t manipulated because of the authorities that checking the law of the demand and supply although somehow they can manipulated it because they are power person in this industry.

[Tim Murray]

I think now you can manipulate everything. Manipulative increase of the value of the crypto currency is an artificial effect on its rate. The aim of manipulators is to buy crypto currency at the lowest possible price and to sell at the highest possible level.

It is indeed possible and nearly happens everytime new Tether is printed, you always see a suddent green spike in BTC value just after Tether is printed and sent to Bitfinex wallet.

Of course it is! The is the main rule in the investment world. - don't let others create something greater that you have! This is why I am doing double check of all news I hear about crypto

[notlasttrain]

the market needs common rules, now in each country, regulatory issues are resolved in their own way and this does not benefit us - investors too

[ahmed04]

I think he's manipulative. You think, the market size is not so big and a couple of venture investors can disperse it so that you never dreamed of.

If there is manipulation happened in the market as a small trader you need to be wise. That is why we need to educate ourself to learn fundamental analysis and always set your cut loss limit. If there is manipulation in downtrend expect also their manipulation in uptrend price. Its up to you on how to play your own game.

The cryptocurrency showcase is manipulative in light of the fact that real players have an effect on the media and utilize this for their own motivations. We can not do anything with it and we can just acclimate to the progressions that are occurring.

This market has not been properly priced and the currency can be completely manipulated. Our job now is to follow up and make the right decisions

[Pelunize12]

maybe there is maniplated price, but i think it just for small amount. it means that cant manipulated fro big amount
people who can manipulate price still a market maker (big whales)

[StephKram]

Yes the price is absolutely manipulated.  What happened over the last year cannot be normal market behavior.  I honestly think they manipulated it up and then back down to demoralize us.  It's not working.  I love crypto more now than ever.
