Thank you

The price of the Bitcoin market is determined by the level of market supply and demand. Just like we have in real trading when there's a limited supply of goods buyers will increase in price but when there huge supply it will go low. Therefore, BTC price is always volatile during the moment large-scale selling activity occurs.

Manipulation is something like an action where the perpetrator influences the market by engaging with intentional selling and buying when the market collapse.  I do not think that the action of the US government selling huge amounts of Bitcoin falls under that category since there is no evidence that the US government is buying after they sell the confiscated Bitcoin.

It is normal to see the market crash when there is a sudden influx of BTC in the market but I believe the market will slowly recover as the demand pressure in the Bitcoin market recovers.

[hatshepsut93]

If someone sells a lot of BTC by filling the current buy orders, this can crash the price if there's not a lot of depth. For example, if there's only a few buy orders for buying 1 BTC at $30k, a few for 1 BTC at $29k, and so on, then fulfilling those orders by selling thousands of coins would bring the price to very low levels instantly. But if the market has enough depth - if there are orders for buying thousands of coins at the price slightly below the market, then dumping a lot of coins will only drop the price by fractions of percent.

But another thing to consider is that some orders might be fake and they will get removed when the price will start moving (spoofing). And price changes trigger placement of new orders, became traders and their bots react very quickly. Even a small sell could turn into a panic and big crash.

Also, large transactions often happen outside of public markets, aka OTC trading, so they might not influence the market at all.

And lastly, even the news or blockchain activity can influence the price sometimes.

Can you rephrase your question? What do you mean by 'manipulate' in this case? They sell the BTC on the open markets hence there's downward selling pressure. What more do you want to know?

We have to bear in mind that smart money are always looking to stop out small traders that's why there's a manipulation that happens in the market. Manipulation occur because institutions wants to invest at a very discounted price before it proceed to it's destination.

Example: if the price is a clear up trend, and they want to buy at a very discounted price, they will manipulate it through bad news so that some people will panic and sell their assets so that price will dump but there's a huge buy orders below and waiting to be filled before the price continue to the upside.

Well I went straight to replying to your topic title because your post is a bit ununderstable. So the question is how the buy and sell order influence or manipulate the market , right ?
So at first I wanna say that only higher amount of bitcoin selling or buying can make some differences of price otherwise It is not possible to manipulate the market as it is.
As I am seeing you are from my local community, So I will give you an example of selling vegetables in our locals market. Like when the winter season comes or the vegetable season comes, one can see that a lot of vegetables are growing in the market and selling them. So here the selling is more than the demand.  On the other hand, when you see off-season, demand is high and sales are low. So in this case, when the demand is high, the price of vegetables is also high, and when the selling is high, the price of vegetables is low.
This is how Bitcoin's market is menu-plated, when the selling of Bitcoin is high, its price is dumping a bit, and on the other hand, when you see big influencers or industries buying it, its price goes up, because then the number of people buying it becomes more.  hope you understand

Let me put it in a language you can understand brother.

Suppose I have apples I sell by the bulk, and then one day, I wake up, setup my store and my business, and then out of nowhere someone buys all the apples from me, from the stall nearby, and basically everywhere else. That would effectively drive the value of apples yeah? Cause now every apple vendor knew that it's the hottest shit in the business world, and with that being said they can sell apples however they want cause they know people will pay whatever amount just to get a taste of this apple stuff. Now picture this, all of a sudden one day while business is booming every one decided they don't want apples anymore. People far and wide especially those that bought apples at an all-time-high price will wish to sell these now worthless fruits just so they don't lose money!

If you caught the metaphor behind that analogy I made, that's basically what the influence of a buy and sell in the market is, this doesn't just apply to crypto. This applies to anything with a value and an economy.

[Mr.right85]

Buys and sells have got some obvious effects on the market. It basically structures the market to assume certain forms as deplayed by the candle sticks.

Buys and sells expresses the demand and supply curve on that product which is reflected in the Ask/Bid price.

Now, having bitcoin flooding the market, it creates a condition of having more coins than investors are willing or ready to buy which pushes sellers to drop price thereby, dumping the currency and the opposite applies when we have more of buyers.

Meanwhile, there are sentiments that follows all these provisions of liquidity as it could lead to panic sales but, that's for weak hands.

[ImThour]

Price of any asset is derived by it's demand and supply in the market it's being traded. For crypto, the markets are the exchanges.

Buys = More Demand
Sells = Less Demand
Supply = Total No. of Bitcoins available on exchanges to be bought

So when someone buy Bitcoin, supply on exchange goes low which makes the price go up.
When someone sells Bitcoin, supply on exchange goes high which makes the price go low.

[Dictator69]

in my idea this process of selling huge amount of BTC will create more supply in the market and if the supply increased the demand then there will be a decrease in the price of BTC. And if supply decreased over demand, then the price will increase. And i think i have heard another news few weeks ago just like it in which they are selling BTC in Batches.

Means to say, there is a topic made in which OP mentioned how many BTC are seized by US governments and those seized BTC are then sold by them and every time they sell it through on-chain. Bitcoins held by the US government.

few days back they also sold some seized BTC from the Silk Road and at that time market was also around 29k$ and in my opinion the current situation of the market is due to this issue. But such incidents also indicates that if they are selling this huge amount of BTC then there must be a buyer on the hands too willing to buy this BTC. So, we should overcome our fear and FUD. because such news might create panic and thus selling of BTC will increase the supply of over demand and this factor will decrease the price greatly.

Are you pretty much asking if selling 8,200 bitcoin all in one transaction can somehow impact the market? The simple answer is no. Of course 8,200 bitcoins are a huge quantity for a single person, even for a company, but considering the whole market and the amount of bitcoins sold and bought every single day that quantity is almost irrelevant.

The law of supply and demand is the basis for why bitcoin prices can go up or down, when cases of buying and selling occur on a large scale, this is where the process of supply and demand occurs. But on closer inspection this is not entirely true about manipulating the market because bitcoins cannot be controlled by anyone even if they hold a much larger amount. If bitcoin can be controlled on the basis of manipulation then there are many large investors who can regulate prices in the market, both the process of increasing and decreasing.

Thus manipulation is not a basis regarding rising or falling prices. But the supply and demand process plays its role when certain conditions occur, so that it can bring price jumps or go down, maybe what you mean is the effect of selling or buying that occurs not price manipulation.

While large marketcap coins such as Bitcoin or Ethereum cannot be manipulated entirely by one organization in the recent years, a large scale coin/crypto company winding down their operations or being hacked may trigger a significant black swan event in the crypto market as a whole. In this scenario, the prices are not directly manipulated but they have been influenced based on the downfall of other cryptocurrencies in general. The crypto market has outgrown and they are generally not entirely dependent on bitcoin alone nowadays.

When $LUNA crashed down to the bottom, multiple investors cashed out of the crypto market entirely taking down Bitcoin to new lows last year. Similarly a ripple effect was created in the market because of this and thereby multiple other companies such as 3AC crashed down to the bottom which in-turn affected FTX internally. When FTX applied for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the market took a nosedive once again and in this scenario Bitcoin going down can be seen as a collateral damage as Sam had inflated the prices of multiple coins including Bitcoin and they were known to the general public only later on.

Consider a situation where Binance or any large exchange gets hacked and suffers a huge damage which will inturn force Bitcoin to go down to $10k range. What if Microstrategy's investors force Saylor to sell an amount to minimize the loss? If this news moves out to the public eye, bitcoin price action would obviously be moving to new lows. Hence such a scenario can be considered as a partial manipulation.

I think he is referring to whale manipulation instances such as the actual scenario. Indeed, with the basic law of demand,  selling activities are a sign of a decline which means the market valus is more likely to decrease as well. But that's not how things work easily. Indeed a huge sell would move the price but it depends into the majority whether they would follow the price action instantly. This is visible with candle sticks in price charts. If there is a sudden long candle out of greens, then a huge amount was sold. But as I've said, it could easily be put into the reversal if majority says so. And with the given instance, he referred to the government selling such thing which may trigger a domino effect especially if it would be announced to the public.

Broadly speaking it will be a manipulation carried out with the aim of influencing the market price. Whoever has the power and has a lot of money will determine which direction the market will go because most people will follow it, so trends will change easily. Whales are able to do that, flipping prices back and forth as they please, triggering domino effects and such.

You are right and that is the reason why neither bitcoin nor ETH can be fully manipulated by any particular organization. Cases like binance and FTX will only affect the course of bitcoin in the short term and now it's not such a big problem anymore because holders don't really care about the problem, so they keep holding bitcoins and don't get involved in the selling process through panic and in the end the pressure on the correction process is only temporary.

The initial collapse of some exchanges might have triggered excessive market panic as holders tried to cut losses by selling in a panic, but in the case of binance which had problems with the SEC, bitcoin was only depressed at low prices for a short time and after that it went back to normal. What I see is precisely because people are no longer panicking about these conditions and the previous case at FTX may have been an experience for some people in making the decision to continue holding.

Consider a situation where Binance or any large exchange gets hacked and suffers a huge damage which will inturn force Bitcoin to go down to $10k range. What if Microstrategy's investors force Saylor to sell an amount to minimize the loss? If this news moves out to the public eye, bitcoin price action would obviously be moving to new lows. Hence such a scenario can be considered as a partial manipulation.

It may be partly true that pressure under certain conditions can drive down the price of bitcoin, but the process may be different when it comes to the supply and demand process. I don't really understand what the impact will be if Microstrategy forces Saylor to sell some assets to minimize losses, but excess bitcoin can actually pass through that cycle that we often see every four years. That is the reason why bitcoin investors no longer panic in a sharp decline caused by several events that have occurred, at least that is what I have seen so far and I assume so.
