What manipulators want

[renemagritte]

Manipulators use our emotions to make us sell or buy coins/stocks. You know the term "fomo" right? It works for almost anyone. So we should try to calm down, take a look at the table from a distance and think. This way I'm doing better job at trading.

We don't need to be afraid of them, they are actually making their own strategy to make money in here. Though we think that they are greedy and tried to manipulate market prices but that's their way also and nothing we can do that.
That's right, find ourself comfortable rather than of thinking them hard.

As you said that when the price is down, it is the time for manipulators to control the market. It can conclude that the manipulators want earn as much as possible of ROI or earn extra money from the panic sell. They will not let the chance go, even they sell the own coins for dump.

I don't know much, maybe most manipulators only do their activities only for personal gain, but the good of other manipulators helps raise prices

They want to have the power of changing the prices whenever they want and make profit from those changes they made. Sometimes they get right and manage to drop or increase the price whenever they want, I have seen some whales and sometimes they failed to increase or decrease the price, it doesn't work %100 of the time even if you are a whale.

They have more to lose and even tho you won't read this on some newspaper they do lose money and big time once in a while. They are as much afraid of doing what they are doing as you would. This is millions of dollars they play with and sometimes they hit big and they are after that one big hit.

[AdamRay]

Yes, that is the rule. The rich will become richer. We are just small fish and are subjected to the oppression of whales but that is the rule. Try to work harder to make more money.

In my own point of view, cryptocurrency manipulators just wanted to make the market looks so bad giving fears to others that will push them to sell their crypto holdings. Once these manipulators see that the market is so down, they will also buy again at a huge volume of cryptos whatever they want.

Manipulators want to loot and suck innocent investors. I do not have any hold over the market and I will just see what is happening in the market. Many investors withdrew their investment due to these manipulators. They change the prices according to their well make big money. Thousands of investors lost their money and now they do not trust crypto anymore.

When market manipulations happen on crypto market, the motivation of manipulators is simple they want to buy low and sell high. All those manipulating techniques - wash trading; pumps and dumps; market cornering are only done to pursue two targets- to control the crowd and make money on it.

Anyone would want to be tempted to drive the market when they know they have all it takes to do so and as long as there are traders in the market, the participation will always be there one way or the other. It is always so easy because so many traders are inexperienced, they tend to jump in front of a moving train, and a whole lot of people even without knowledge are looking for means to get rich fast from trading and whales will always take advantage of this.

It is usually very simple, accumulate more at the dips, spike the price and bring about participation, and then before you know it, the price keeps getting up as you look for another perfect spot to distribute and drive it back down afterwards. A rinse and repeat process.

Manipulators are part of the crypto market, decentralized systems can't be separated from manipulators who manipulate prices, and manipulators will continue to play to get their profits.

I think that people just want to have more Bitcoins, more than anyone so they will control all market. They just want to drop the price and buy more and more. Then they will pump it... I hope

Yes, sure, they want to get more Bitcoins when the crypto is very cheap. After that, the biggest holders of BTC are going to sell the cryptocurrency to make billions.

Actually to them, it is not even just about getting cheap, it is about taking advantage of the weak hands in the market which is where they believe that the ability to make more money in the long run will come from. As long as the market is speculative, a lot of people want to get rich fast, it would always be an easy ride for them.

They usually play with emotions and since they have huge bucks to drive the market the way they want, it makes manipulation so easy for them, which would not have happened naturally if the market is not highly speculative and natural demand drives the market instead which I believe we will get there some day.

Even if we get there when the time comes manipulation will next exit the cryptocurrency market. Although, their goals is for them to control the market, make a good profit from out of people ignorance but all we have to do is play along with them and I also believed current manipulation is normal base on last bullish market.

[lingwistiko]

Thinking about manipulators in the crypto industry, all i can think is that they all want everybody to panic and leave crypto so they will sell their cryptos that will help make the price fall. Once the price is down, they can buy more of it at a lower price adding it to their big volume of crypto assets already.

I think the 'manipulators' are less frightening than some of you might think. It's probably safe to say that the spot market has become nothing more than a tool to boost their leveraged trades on platforms such as BitMex. Back in the days it was more like them accumulating plenty of coins, pump the market, then dump at others. Right now it's more like them solely resetting the spot market to levels within a safe range.

There doesn't seem to be much desire for them to tank the market to insanely lower levels for maximum profits (at least for now). If they are in for a wild ride, they'll just increase their leverage multipliers and reset the spot market to levels at which their gains are satisfying enough. As long there is enough respect for $5800 people should not worry.

Exchanges globally should put some effort into finding out who and what is contributing to these obvious price resets. As long as that doesn't happen, whales will continue to have free game.

So basically you were telling us that whales can or will not going to break the whole economy down by manipulating prices?

That is true but what they leave after changing prices is a big problem for us small time traders. I really am hoping to that might aswell limiting trades per day but this also removes cryptos opportunities to bitcoins economic growth.

I also doubt that exchanges will be going to take an effort for that especially if they are the most beneficial aside from the whales when it comes to sudden change of prices

yes, manipulators just want profits by selling at the higher peak, not to break the whole economy. There is something called "price resistant" because not everyone influenced to sell bitcoin and they prefer to hold.

That is true but what they leave after changing prices is a big problem for us small time traders. I really am hoping to that might aswell limiting trades per day but this also removes cryptos opportunities to bitcoins economic growth.

I never heard any exchange limiting trades per day, it's a free global market, people are free to buy and sell as much as they want as long as the volume in an exchangebis enough. The problem is, sometimes exchange place fake volume on their sites to attract people.

I also doubt that exchanges will be going to take an effort for that especially if they are the most beneficial aside from the whales when it comes to sudden change of prices

Correct, exchanges have the power to control all transactions in their platform, including taking the chance to sell bitcoin at the highest peak or buy at the lowest price. It's a race against time, whoever can buy and sell at the right time will get bigger profits than others.

Manipulators must be want to buy with cheap price. If peoples panic and they have more coin, they can control the price. I think thats the manipulator want. They just want to make big profits from panic peoples

[JoeHilton]

Just my opinion, manipulator want to let the price go down, then panic bitcoiner can not stay long and will sell their coin. They will buy that number of coins and the price will go up, people will come back and buy. Manipulator can sell it with higher price and earn a lots

[0t3p0t]

Crypto market manipulators are motivated by one factor- the desire to make profit at the expense of others, they are usually whales with so much influence and have the resources to create tension or panic in the market because they know people starrt making irrational decisions when that happens, they can then buy lower and sell when the fears are gone

I agree with you opinion mate as that is really what had happened though I am not an expert about trading but based on my own understanding whales works that way. Manipulation will create something that will make our emotions uncontrollable which lead us to panic and made some stupid decissions which is an advantage for the manipulator itself. So the best thing to do when we feel something is happening with the market then that is the time we are going with the flow and control emotions.

High profits can dazzle those who manipulate. They are too greedy or hard to give up a huge amount of wealth they earn. At the top of wealth, they can lose themselves.

[Ericgreen]

There are no "manipulators", there are simply big players who have the opportunity to influence the market, and obviously take advantage of it.
If we were able, we would do it too.
For what concerns us, we can only try to understand in which direction the "manipulator" will move the market, and go after it.

These are the game changers. They can do what they want. When they realize that now it is the time to bump the market, the price will suddenly go up without any reason and when people invest their money, the price will collapse again without any reason. Small investors will lose their money due to fall in the price. Manipulators buy on low price and sell on high price to collect the money.

[popolite11]

This is the reality that manipulators do. they only wanted cheaper prices and sell at the expensive prices to get the profits. Well, anyone who is affected by their manipulations will definitely lose.

The main goal of the whales is to earn even more money than they have. If they are millionaires they want to become billionaires. Thus, very often they do everything to reduce Bitcoin price to buy it cheap and sell when it grows.

[edisystem]

When price drops over and over everybody thinks that is bad and their invesment is going to loose or they already in loose. Generally this causes loosing hope to that coin, and people generally sell and exit from market.This maybe great for manipulators because they want to control market. right now there is a resistance to manipulators and this causes manipulators to gain less. they earn with volatility and it is decreasing as you can see in yearly graph. so best option for manips is reducing volume so that they gain more control. And for to reduce volume they create hopelessness by lowering price. When you see price is going well to high points you feel better but they cut your dreams with a steep fall like just a few days ago. investors sells or waits that cause reduced volume. And when the volume decreases they can ride the price easily.

Obviously they want big profits, i think to control a market is not easy and i think you will needs so many coins to control a coin or market. It's like a group of rich people that have so many coins and they can control the price easily, just pump and dump and the market will follow them. I don't know people like that is really happened or not though.
