Anyone see notice the big price swings on BTC, Eth, LTC, and Bca all shot up at the same time and almost exactly 12 hours later all dropped off a cliff lower than where they started? Seems like a big fish manipulation, I noticed it many other times and makes me tilt my head and makes me leary
Bitcoin price and some other coins are just like that since then, especially bitcoin, it goes up and down all the time and every year. We cannot say exactly what Month, but it is always happening in the market.

I think it is just a normal price movements and cannot be considered that big when the past price movements(bullish and bearish) are crazier than it. I also don't think that there aren't any manipulationa happening in the market, if what you claimed is true though, they won't be able to keep it up for a long time. If you also noticed it many other times, just think of it as normal volatility of crypto. 
I have long been accustomed to such price fluctuations. It's not a problem for me. I even like it. In such moments there is always an opportunity to earn. Perhaps this worries those who use the strategy of the holding, but they should understand that this strategy works only for the duration of the period.
I believe price is going to bounce on one of these big swings and never come back to 8000 usd!
All bad days are left behind today and now we can start to again 20k -30k in few months.
yes that's right. And perhaps soon it will continue jump again. Like what happen last few days, which is the price jumped from 6k to 8k in just 30mins. And i believe also that there's a tends it will happen again 'cause as we see nowadays after a small dump the price always jump back , so maybe this time it gaining more for the new high value of this year All bad days are left behind today and now we can start to again 20k -30k in few months.
You must be completely new to markets then. These sort of movements happen all the time and not only in crypto markets. Correlated markets generally move together unless there is some specific reason for them not to and then the become temporarily uncorrelated.
Exactly. Just look at the trading pairs at (almost) all exchanges. You will mostly find BTC/altcoin pairs, and much fewer LTC/altcoin or USDT/altcoin pairs. So, if everything else is being traded vs BTC, no wonder there's strong correlation. Hence, BTC is the center of crypto-economy and chances are it will remain so for a long time. The correlation between BTC and the other coins may be broken on occasions, for example, when a certain alcoin becomes attractive for whatever reason, but on average, all cryptocurrencies follow the movement of bitcoin. From time to time I try to locate pairs without a strong correlation (they might be better for the purpose of speculation), but so far I haven't had much success.
Perhaps the odd thing is the rise in cryptocurrencies like Monero & BCH [temporary speculation]
Monero has a fork coming up at the end of the month so people are buying it hoping for a "dividend" payout.
Bcash, on the other hand, is just having a tiny dead cat bounce.

The effect of the price of bitcoin is applied to all other cryptocurrencies.However, if the price of the Bitcoin drops, it will be followed by a drop for all currencies with a margin of change of about 5% maximum.
The price of bitcoin has not fluctuated very much in the last 24 hours. Any rise or fall is a natural product of daily market movement.

it didn't drop down to where it started, price is still above $8000 and the most drop that it has is to $79xx an where it started was at $6800.
I have not been following the rest but the initial rise of bitcoin from $6800 to $8100 meant a big drop for all of the altcoins you mentioned, then after 1-2 hours these altcoins started rising because the money just woke up in altcoin market and the bitcoin effect pulled them up with itself a little bit.

Price of crypto can swing heavily everyday and even price can have +/- 10% within a hour chart which is quite unusual if you are only familiar with the forex or other trading assets.
This means you will have equal chance of booking high profit or loss at the same time when you will trade cryptos. The one who can perfectly make an exit and enter again (day trading) on daily basis can actually make constant profit. Many crypto trader are just covering their living expenses only through crypto trading.

It has been a wild market for BItcoin. any of technical analysis flags are becoming less reliable. These are controlled moves the whole day long. We have seen these dirty moves from whales many times the last 3 weeks. Currently, the market is a playground for the whales.

Maybe it is an whales action but learn to surf on the waves we still can make lot of money by short bumps and dumps of you think it will heooen in tje future too.But no one can completely manipulate it they can just ignite the fire and all the remaining thigs will happen itself.But long time investor don't have to scare about these spikes so be a long term holder and enjoy the waves.

Correlated markets generally move together unless there is some specific reason for them not to and then the become temporarily uncorrelated. Paranoia about manipulation also extends to other markets but not to the extreme levels so silliness that exist in the crypto world.
