Who controls the market?

[cryptolord2077]

Volumes, volumes and volumes again. In my opinion, the market is controlled by those who have giant volumes and know how they can influence the market.

Larger whales control the market and can affect the prices of any decentralized currency. Ordinary players with weak hands have nothing to control, they just float on the waves.

Yes you are right whales the people who use to save so many bitcoin and other coins so that they sell it when the price rises high to make market down once again, selling so much coins at once can fall the enter market,, so panic selling is wrong decision people sell and buy again at low price they take advantage of the people who are not aware of crypto rise and fall nature.

Nope thats a fallacy.   The market is the sheep herd that overwhelms singular entities standing in its way.   The reason its deceptive is the herd rarely is united in one direction against more visible singular 'large' players in the market.   However the direction of the market is decided by the many not the few, its not often but trends are decided sometimes by popular ideas and genuine utility and trends.  A drift in sentiment causes price direction to form.
The giant volumes argument only works so long as the herd universally follows that direction otherwise its just a short term move

I still believe that controlling the market is a collection of whales,
not only one whale, but many whales, especially whale gatherings in every country and in the world, this is only true we have never met in person or have access there.

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.

But there are many issues and one of those are the Whales is manipulating the market prices .this is something like controlling ghe market right?but in many wags i agreed on your point since we claim to be decentralized and volatile same as anonymous, i guess its better to accept that we are uncontrollable and have our own position in each matters

I think only a small number of investors are called whales capable of controlling the Cryptocurrency market. Large exchanges are also organizations that can control the market based on cooperation between them to create trends to make profits from traders participating in the margin. Some information suggests that some governments are trying to hoard Bitcoin to affect the market.

That's not the only one factor that create cryptocurrency market trend. The market is influenced by two basic factors which are market sentiments (all stakeholders) and individual sentiment . As long as I know individual sentiment only have small power to affect the market which mean the effect that can be made is not for long term but the problem here is people are too afraid when there is big change in the market so people do panic selling or panic buying. That's how individual sentiment can influence market sentiments.

I'm not sure that everything is decentralized. I think that big players can influence the market very much. And indicate the direction of the price.

Earlier it was possible for the "big" players to manipulate the market. But nowadays there are thousands of exchanges in existence and the daily transaction volume is over $10 billion. Billionaires can still manipulate the market by either dumping a huge amount of coins or placing huge buy orders, but over the years the market has grown so big that any impact from these steps will be short lived and ineffective.

That could be true, they want to have a share of the total supply so in case it will become successful they already have the power.
It's hard to determine what's really happening or the value is showing the real market value of crypto since with whales, they can manipulate the price and that results to a manipulated market since bitcoin is the most dominant.

The whales are the one who are controlling the market because they have a lot of money to spare and that is how they work. They look for a specific cryptocurrency and once they are now aligned then they are going to pump that cryptocurrency and create some false hype and once the hype is real, they will dump their coins and they are just going to repeat the process.

This is the  same activity of some institution focusing on stock market. Fortunately on stock market, market manipulation is prohibited under SEC regulations. That's why users and hodlers of crypto -currency should lobby to regulators on creating a law to limit this type of activities.

Eventually the market will be regulated, stock market been here for many years, bitcoin is just new and not everyone recognizes it.
As the adoption improves, proper regulation for crypto will also takes place, it needs time though.

I agree to your statement. Regulation will soon be implemented into the cryptocurrency market because that is the only way for the cryptocurrency to have a stable and bright future because it will establish credibility for cryptocurrency where people will gain courage that is enough for them to start getting into crypto.

As you say, this market is not in the middle. Some investors spend a lot of money on this market, and their level of influence on the whole market is huge. Their influence can change the trend of market fittingly, and they are as big as whales.

which I know the market conditions are controlled by the situation itself. because if the market is experiencing a decline, of course the situation will decline too. if the situation improves, of course the price will increase. so for me the current conditions have controlled crypto conditions.

[Crypto24hrs]

Individuals and groups in possession of a large chunk of cryptocurrency can influence the upward and downward movement of price of bitcoin to some extent, but that doesn't mean that they are totally in control of all market variable, at list not forever

[fuathan]

I always check the rich list of a cryptocurrency before I invest. The rich list mostly tells if it is decentralized or not (of course not 100%).

If the top hundred addresses own more than %50 percent of the coin, I don't invest it.

But we are responsible for the situations like if we will buy some coin at low price will have to hold, market situation rises and falls because of us, we should invest on right time, panic selling is one of the biggest reason for market fall, apart from panic sellers, whales are the one who controls the market, when they sell so many coins at once the price suddenly changes.

[1BTC EQUALS 1CAR]

For me, it is always the news. Because if there are no news, it's hard for some groups to manipulate the price to where they want it to be.  They can bring it down or up but people will be confused on what they will do with that. But if you do that after FUD or FOMO then the others will follow thinking that it was because of the news why it happened.
