I have been observing a trend from last year bitcoin price movements to this year movement.
I have observed how we're getting so much positive news and adoption about bitcoin this year, but still the prices refuse to go up. If this was last year a single positive news will have pumps the prices by at least 10% or more.
Its that positive news don't longer have any effect on the price movement or is their any manipulation going on.
media is just a medium of the whales to manipulate prices. observe when cnbc crypto news i find their assumptions always contrary to the movement of cryptocurrency. news are for the small players
