Who controls the market?

[Shimmiry]

It is normal for people and institutions with a large crypto portfolio to have the power to influence the market. I can't say that the crypto market is being fully controlled but they are make to effective the prices the rising and down.

I agree. It has really an effect to the market. Whales has a huge factor that to the ups and  downs of the market but then we cannot really say that they are the one in full control. But hen they still have. All in all it is the market or the investors who are in control of the overall market. It is you, even when you have small investment.

[margaret22]

All together, we crypto holders, and enthusiast have the power to control the market, but in the same time, big whales, speculators can have a big influence too, but I believe, this influence can be decreased, as more players join, especially individuals with proper knowledge.

[Chrisjay29]

As far as i know no one controling the market of crypto and bitcoin. But market can be manipulate by some big investor or whales. Thats why im favor of bitcoin etf because market is already manipulate so what are worry for? If bitcoin etf will approve im surely it will pump

Human psychology (fear and greed) actually controls the market

[sakrosak]

of course investors who have very large funds, to control the market requires a lot of money and the right strategy. they control the market to get low prices and for personal gain.

Precisely you are right, greed people those whales controlling the market flow price. Since they have profit on their strategy they are repeatedly doing those techniques. And those having fair people they easily having panic selling on their stocks that make them laugh when they have a huge profit. So, let's help the market, hold your wallet as long as you can on this bearish trend market.

There are exchanges that have some control, action of the traders are also a deciding factor, the miners have some control over it, the payment network, and the team that develops such currencies.

Exchanges are very influential when it comes to the price of cryptocurrencies in general, almost all the money invested in the market of cryptocurrencies is moving through them, because as we know decentralized exchanges still have very low volumes compared to their centralized counterparts, so it's clear to me they have some control over the prices.

[Xising]

Remember, this whole thing about crypto is largely decentralized, thus, there is no single authoritative body in control of the crypto market. Although there are few centralized platforms among crypto, the market is largely influenced by the efforts and influence of the users of crypto. How well sellers and buyers treat the coins on the market affect the performance of the market.

I think there is no controls over the market but only in the exchanges. Even decentralized exchange has their admin that is controlling the flow of coins but the marketing would be the same as the other exchanges. The prices will always depend on how investors perform in every exchanges, so there is no manipulation in the market based on my observations.

Well, I agree. However, there is so much talk about big companies or people with so much invested money in cryptocurrencies that they can control how one coin moves by simply increasing or decreasing the amount of transaction they do by the sheer amount of asset they hold. But then, I think, that since crytpocurrency is a different currency that is not similar with the traditional ones with its value controlled in the same breath, specifically by the amount of gold reserves. Then, everything has actually has a hand in somewhat controlling or affecting its value, ranging from the news, how the community supports it, how big companies invest in it. I think they all have their own effects.

absolutely right because all this time the market depends on the trader, if more and more traders are buying coins then to increase the market is certain and vice versa

[mutrang23]

No individual or any organization can control Crypto. Those who control Crypto are the trader and the holder, and they are the ones who control it. As their purchases increase, they will push up the market and, when purchased, will cause the market to stop moving.

[omorfi]

I dont think that someone can control that kind of market. A few whales may be able to manipulate prices. I believe that the high volume on the market controls the entire market.

[Semosuchi Tesongrato]

The market is controlled by the algorithm that keeps the blochchain standing. That's all.
And everyone can verify the operation of this algorithm, because it is open source.
Then, who MANIPULATES the market is another matter, we will hardly be able to find out.

[paulspider]

Since the time I joined cryptocurrency,i can't specifically point out bodies that regulate the market. I think it is determined by how valuable each coin is generally. No one determines the market but it's the value of the coin.

[Sirait]

sellers and buyers, investors, and Whales they are what I think controls the market. especially Whales, I feel the role of Whales who often manipulate prices is needed to attract investors, because it is no secret that they have the biggest control in the cryptocurrency market...

[Globalbitcoinl]

the market is influenced by reputable people, and only when their forecasts are justified. but otherwise it's just a speculative coin to earn

[bitcoin31]

The price of the cryptocurrency is depends to us , because we are the both investor and seller. Remember market control all people everyone even you have only little amount cryptocoin and once more people sell their coin they have big effect on the price.

[jcarlo]

Most of the people don't care if a currency is decentralized or not and don't what it means too. They are just interested to make profits, no matter how. They jump on the new flower of the month, invest some cash and sit down until the flower blooms.
How it works, or what it is exactly doesn't matter to them

I am agree with you. Most people just want to make profits from their speculation. But i do believe that market not manipulated because cryptocurrency is decentralized and the price determined by supply and demand in market

[tanxpresisit514]

I think that the big players control mainly the entire cryptocurrency market, but also in some countries where the cryptocurrency is legalized, I think there governments also influence the market, also various news related to cryptocurrency also affect the market, so there are many factors and only a small part is known.

Who influences the price of crypro is the crypto user itself. Because the market formed is the result of supply and demand. Without an agreement the price can be destroyed. For example, all crypto owners sell it but no one buys. What happened?. Prices will go down, because there are no buyers.

[patarfweefwee]

Everyone who has a coin controls the market. Besides, i don't think that whales actually sits their asses down to stick their eyes on the movement of crypto currency to pump it up and dump it eventually to increase the price. It will take alot of work for an income that they could get from less work and supervision.

Yes exactly. There are no one to control the market. The market just run over buyer and seller. Only this affect is actively work all over in exchange. However some centralized platform can affect though but fully affected by buyer and seller.
