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?

Let me make you understand in a simple manner, bro. Unlike any other asset, bitcoin follows the law of supply and demand. You might also be aware that bitcoins are limited in number. Hence, this makes bitcoin very rare. When you hear bulk buying the coins, it simply means the demand to acquire the bitcoins has increased, and in order to fulfil the demand, the price also goes up due to the limited supply of bitcoins. Similarly, when there is a huge "selling" order, the price goes down. This is a general overview of how buying and selling affect the price of bitcoins.

If more bitcoin is bought, the price will increase. If more bitcoiis is sold, the price will decrease. But bitcoin marketcap is too big for manipulation. Coins with low marketcap are the ones that can easily be manipulated.

The Bitcoin market is also controlled by forces of demand and supply, the higher the demand the greater the price, and the lesser the demand the lower the price. When the government makes such an announcement that it is selling a large chunk of bitcoin it also gives rise to FUD. Some investors will begin to dump their coins because of fear of the unknown. But in recent times these news or dumps is having less impact on the market price. Most times the market recovers in a few days. The bitcoin sector is gradually becoming immune to the impact caused by these sales which usually caused the market to nosedive in time past.

I think he was too hasty to say it or motivated from the news he read then asked the forum, we already understand how the market mechanism, selling and buying is a definite factor in the market, and demand will increase the scarcity that affects the price to be higher, and selling is an action that makes goods become more abundant in the market, and that makes the price lower or lower, the mechanism is simple and it is common knowledge.
Regarding sales made by the US government, of course, this is not a strange thing anymore, because they have also done that before, and they do not manipulate the market from selling bitcoins, and also no one can manipulate that, as you said, the marketcap is very large so it is difficult to manipulate.

It's not really manipulation if you are selling or buying on the open market without any bad intentions, but very much possible to manipulate the price if you hodl a good stash of some crypto and you want to influence price in some way and trigger the herd mentality of which users will try follow what a whale is doing!

As of the question on how sells and buys influence the market value, well think of this being a tag of war...whoever comes out the Victor after the war decides the direction of the market on that particular day and in this case the US government selling a huge chunk of coins means putting selling pressure on the market such that if you were looking at the charts you could see a huge red candle for this transaction as it fills all buying orders at market value going down from highest to lowest order till all coins are sold.

It is only a manipulation if you have something to benefit other than the value of the traded assets.

- Say someone wants to buy Bitcoins at a cheaper, they can start selling their bitcoins faster than the market can buy at that moment, this often creates a cascading effect that prompts other trades to open sell positions as well. This way, the price goes down and they canbget it lower, at a discount. This is a common practice in the crypto market especially with altcoin projects with small to medium marketcap. For Bitcoin, it's much difficult since you to spend a lot more in other to tilt the direction of the market in your favor.

I wonder what else folks want to know about large sell-off rather than a temporary price fall which will be an insignificant proportion to what the total Bitcoin being sold off,  and if the US government decided to pull off their seized Bitcoin to support their inflation-afflicted economy trying to save the USD from sinking.

Even at that,  this current Bitcoin price pullback is a kind of correction that will propel a more robust Bitcoin price in the coming weeks,  since Bitcoin has sustained this price benchmark even with all the market pressure.

right, the decline in bitcoin seems to be just a price correction to get squared off to jump higher. here the bitcoiner's belief in bitcoin is more solid so that they have the thought that bitcoin is a good investment, which in the future the price will always rise along with the development of bitcoin adoption. price fluctuations that occur as if a normal phenomenon and currently bitcoiner is not as fragile as before, even though the price fell by more than 50%, because later it will fly more than the previous ATH

I'm not really sure what the OP wanted to say, but obviously,

a. if big whales sell and it was seen by speculators then they might panic and sell as well
b. if big whales buy and it was seen by speculators then they might buy as well

Just always have it in the mind that bitcoin market is not being manipulated, when you're conscious of these, you will then have a quicker understanding of more about how the market dumps and pumps works and the logic behind the demands and supply, especially when there's a sudden release of bitcoin into the market for circulation, some had also thought about the role of miners and how they can also use their block reward to trigger the market rise and fall, everyone keep coming with his own idea but know that US released of this bitcoin make no significant impact to rise the market significantly.

[Ucy]

The total amount of the seized silk road bitcoins could be considered worthless depending on how dirty or clean they are. If things they were exchange for are bad/evil, they will have little to no sufficient power to move the price of Bitcoin ... Only clean money can move the price of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin price was recalculated such that low supply & high demand for clean bitcoins can move price up while high supply moves price down. That also means if someone or people are buying clean bitcoins price would go up. If they are selling price goes down. Clean bitcoins have more powers to move Bitcoin price.
 Price could also be moved by people with enough power in form of contributions to the development of Bitcoin. The logic here is that good contribution from such people is thesame as  good/clean Bitcoin... good contribution = clean bitcoin = power. Your good contributions, depending on how quality/powerful they are help Bitcoin grow. If you contribute good ideas it grows, if you contribute clean bitcoins it grows

If I am understanding you correctly, you are interested in understanding the concept of manipulation in all markets including Bitcoin. It is a common  belief that entities or individuals often referred as "Whales) with significant amount of funds can dictate or change the direction of market by making substantial buying and selling. The  primary motive behind such  actions is to make quick gains. This artificial movement of market is known as manipulation.

However, It is important to note that all significant buying or selling is not manipulation. There are many mega institutions who make huge buying for legit reasons, despite the fact that such buying can also potentially impact the market price of assets.

Op you are not from US and you are interested to write on US issues which their official language is English and now you have confused yourself with English Language From your topic to the conclusion of the thread is something else. You even used American language in the last phrase. Yes the demand and supply chain affect the market price. The full participation of whales in the market manipulate the prices.

This sell is not done via market order which gives the market a room for a recovery. 8200 Bitcoin is not sold in one order or if ever it’s done with that, The liquidity on the exchange orderbook can handle this volume of selling since exchange already has a lot of capital to do that.

The FUD news is more dangerous to manipulate the market rather than a sell-off by a single entity since there’s a lot of retail traders willing to purchase during small dips.

[Sim_card]

Bitcoin can not be manipulated by anyone. Selling and buying of bitcoin doesn't open room for manipulation, what bitcoin price depends on is demand and supply. If the demand for bitcoin is high then the price of bitcoin will also be high. If whales sell off their coins,and other people buys them the market will remain balanced. It is if everyone start selling off including individuals and whales that is when the price of bitcoin will be affected because there will be little demand for it. Bitcoin is not an altcoins that can be manipulated by the dev or a whale because of its decentralized nature.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

OP, it's just like the rule of demand and supply: when demand is higher than supply, prices skyrocket, but when supply exceeds demand, prices fall. For Bitcoin, the price can also be influenced by the level of purchase; if a huge amount of Bitcoin is being bought by different institutions, then the price can take a spike, and when a huge amount is also sold out by different whales, then the market takes a brief downturn that doesn't really last for a very long time. The bitcoin market is not just like altcoins, where there's always price manipulation or some huge pump and dump. The Bitcoin price movement is not easily influenced by just one factor, unless it's a really terrible situation like a war or pandemic.

[franky1]

bitcoin value and bitcoin market price are 2 separate measures

bitcoins value is a underlying support number below the market. its made up from the cheapest acquisition cost fora period and creates the support of new 'bottoms' for the markets to then speculate above

the market price speculates above value and yes this speculation wiggles up and down depending on demand.
the market is not about the 19m+ coins in circulation but a smaller allotment of about 2m spread across multiple exchanges, by which if one exchange has say 500k coins volume per day and has being pushed to sell 10k (2%) then it can cause market movement. but usually its the social drama that causes other users to move their own funds(3-95% of exchange funds) to move in reaction to the news of the 2% movement

you can never predict the movements because although at first the 2% would cause a 2% dump. other players are anticipating the 2% dumb so they buy at a 2% discount. thus they can cause the price to go back up
another bread of players may fear the dump and also dump themselves. and another breed of players may anticipate the fear dumb and counter it with discount buys.

What ?

Buying Pressure raises the price and in reverse order, the Selling pressure brings the market down what's the point of the manipulation here.. Manupaltion actually an act done by the big market players where they feed the particular emotion in traders and retailers to make high gains as if they want to buy in cheap simply they will put the selling pressure in the market by their pre holdings so it will create a fearful and fuddy situations dn weak hands will sell their assets in cheap to avoid losses but their act brings them towards a real loss and the manipulators Buy with joy. Hope so you've got the answer to what is manipulation..

I can give a more explanatory example from the current circumstances. As the market is feeling a highly tight range of flow and selling pressure this is the actual manipulation where the retailers are trying to fill up the bags, Why I am so sure because the on-chain activity is presenting a fully Bullish accumulation process but the market is not performing in that swing. Sec is putting pressure on statements but at the same time, the giants are using their statements to cover up their late fillings. Seems like they are playing Statement Statement and using them against the weak hand's regular fearful traders.
