Bitcoin lovers hold for that higher prices, bitcoin lovers also have an amount for having fun, trading or gambling, where we have a chance to make more. Small traders lose money because they are greedy, make a reasonable goal with amount you trading with. Don't expect to invest $50 in trading and to make $1000 in few days. It's not impossible, but it's like very hard to do that. Try to make 5% from your amount on weekly basis and maybe you will be more luck in long run.
It's possible to manipulate every market, is it easy or hard depends on how big market is. As market grows in value it's harder to manipulate it with.
It is greed that makes us forget about patterns that have been applied before, indeed, most of now want to always be for a short time even though it is difficult to do if the market conditions are uncertain or fluctuations.
But for me daily trading is also enough to take a little percentage but it is also not impossible to continue there must be a bad thing so we must be able to see or analyze what has been traded in the long term.
Gambling is not a good thing when we have extra money so having fun is necessary so that we don't get stressed.
