Who controls the market?

[Brama Jasa]

who controls the market is news. why is the news? if news about a coin has a vision for the future, with news that many want to buy or invest in the coin. I think you are joining the crypto world because of the news, and the peak in the year that caused the price of bitcoin to be very high. and then bad news shows that bitcoin makes people afraid to lose, and sells their coins that cause market price go down ... I do not believe, rich people can control the market

[Caladonian]

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.

Right now, the whole market is basing with speculations and opinions coming from the wide spread news, the sentiments of small players are been played wisely by those big fat whales who uses the mainstream news in order to facilitate the market runs, when everyone are talking about the pumped this manipulators will see the advantages and will act in favors of their money, so hard to play the game as you ain't sure how they will manipulate the outcome.

Avoid to be moved by anything without prior investigations and research, hold on with your own observations and assessment.

I always invest in power projects of major decentralization, many altcoins are manipulated by false volume or whales that manipulate or centralize mining, in parts not all altcoin be totally decentralize

Maybe you do not believe that rich people can control the market. But believe that they can influence the market.
If several large holders want to sell their bitcoins, then they will greatly lower the price in down.

Not necessarily; news are meant to be true or false. A wise and big investors won't easily fall for it. Perhaps newbie investors can be a victim of a fake news. On the other hand, news in cryptocurrency is more likely to be positive rather than negative thus in my opnion it doesn't conttol the market but rather help the market grow.

I also never want to invest where the ruler of the coin has more than 35% because it can be controlled by certain parties except the top 10 major coins may still invest but for the altcoin it will not be because the whales are very greedy for profits and can harm us as people have small capital I prefer to play safely with the top 10 coins in coinmarketcap because I can definitely get a long-term profit

- The news is really a person who can control the market but the question is where the news comes from and why the news can appear and spread to everyone, and the only answer to this problem can be whales, groups that are constantly manipulating the market for the purpose of making more money. News will never happen randomly, I always believe that these groups are connected and they have inside information of projects, that allowed them to act before the news was released, whales were the ones controlling the market, the news was also in their control

Well if we talk about decentralized only buyer and sellers control the market but yes there are some tacts of pump and dump people create fake walls also to control the market. In case of centralized only company or coin owner can do that

Pump and dump is called manipulation, and those who have a big share of the total supply can only manipulate the market, they are whales.
Also, because the crypto space is not yet regulated, it's easy for them to manipulate the market, when they are in control they can make
money from investors who enters the market with lack of knowledge.

With their power, they can hype or spread FUD on the market that would make the price react.

moreover there are no regulatory laws that govern. I think they can only manage it in a short time, not continuously, and clearly the goal is to get personal profit by utilizing the psychological aspects of others

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.

It is true that controlling the market is ourselves, there is a time above and there is a time below. maybe if the crypto market is controlled by the agency it won't work because the CRPTO has a lot of money and bitcoin is high value money and I hope bitcoin is always good because there are many people who depend on it.

Basically,the Cryptocurrency market is not controlled by any organized structure rather by investors.
The altitude of investors tend to affect the market positively or negatively as the case maybe.
That's why a positive attitude should be maintained by all in cryptosphere.

It is not controlled meaning that it is transparent and cannot be corrupted.
But, in an ecosystem where everything is free and not regulated there can be big actors that can control the market by their actions both short term or long term.

[Vaskiy]

As the market is decentralized there is none to take control over the market. Whales have got the ability to manipulate the market to some extent, beyond the fact there is more of a growth as well corrections. This is where the crypto market stays away from the centralized schemes.

[bitbunnny]

I don't think that anyone is really controling the market not whales or anymore else.
But such speculations appear from time to time, especialky when the price suddenly changes and in the negative way like now it's happening. So, nothing new and people need some reason and explanation why something is happening so the claim that someone pulls the strings is logical.

the development of the crypto currency or crypto market depends on its own investors and in my opinion no one can control the market individually, the amount of interest to invest in the crypto currency itself

[mirakal]

I don't think that anyone is really controling the market not whales or anymore else.

When we say that they have a big percentage of holdings based on the total supply, they sure can control the market as they can move the market.
However, that would require a complete coordination of all whales if they want a full control as they should have the same action which is not happening now.

[BennyK]

Cryptocurrency is decentralized and its a free market, hence there is no single authoritative body in absolute control over the market. The market is largely controlled or influenced by the cumulative activities if crypto enthusiasts such as investors, traders, holders etc on the market. The readiness for investors or traders to trade at certain high or low price determines the trend on the market prices.

The question is that if there is no one in control of the market, just as you say that prices can suddenly change erratically, it looks like someone is playing at such a time even though it seems illogical, but that fact happens. I feel that there must be a big holder coming into play even though it is not specifically seen.

Yes right, because the Crypto is free market, there is no institution that controls prices, so prices are always unstable every day, because it is influenced by Bitcoin traders, so Bitcoin will never be able to be controlled by any government.
