To what extent would automated orders affect the current dynamic?
By automated order, I mean anything anything at all that didn't involve a human actively trading.
Of course there is a chance that stop loss, shorts, trading bots and so forth plays a good role, for example there are sell orders that people sell at a lower level that is already in the exchanges, if it drops under a certain price people end up selling, that alone is really a lot, and buy orders that buys when the price goes down is already known and there for example, which means sellers would know how much would be required to crash the price.
Long story short basically if anyone wants to crash to price they know where to look at and what to look at and they can calculate how much is required to sell in order to drop the price to what price they want. Which gives those people some advantage, why? Because if you know how much exactly you would need to drop the price to exact number, you could use it to manipulate, sell some, drop it, and buy more in return.
