Today was an awful day for speculators because the price just stagnated.  I hope tommorow it will do its weekend drop.

haha, so a high/low diff of 8% is stagnation now, is it?

Those are the very edge of wild swings.  The price has been 5.50 the whole time with only a 1% difference (about 10 cents) in either way both times.

weekend is coming, during the weekend, it will swing more, because daytime stock trader has nothing else better to do on weekend, so wait and see

Every order "manipulates" the market.

It's easier to manipulate btc than it is the stock market, for obvious reasons.

Relatively, it doesn't really take that much money to move the price either way.
