Dramatic, amazing and unbelievable are some nice words that described the latest rise in the price of Bitcoin and especially so when it was hovering for days at mo than $7000 and people were wondering if Bitcoin will be going down further to $6000 or will it break through the boring situation.

Then all of a sudden it made some burst even reaching more than $10,000 and people scrambled to find what can be the reasons behind the amazing surge. While there are those who linked the statement of China's president on the blockchain, there are also who are looking at the possibility that this movement is actually just manipulated.

Right now, Bitcoin is back at $9100 per CMC and seems to me like is taking some rest for a probable another big dip. Do you believe that this is just a manipulation and because of that it could not hold on to the $9000 price?

Manipulated or not, no one can point it out because price is always been unpredictable where it can pump and dump in a matter of seconds,minutes,hours and a day.
We have seen too much increase for a matter of 24 hours on btc price which it do whoops for 37% on a matter of a day.Neither which angle you would look
at then it would really looks like its being manipulated but who cares? As an investor if you do know on when to get profit or get out then thats the important thing.

The market is always "manipulated" long and short. Usually with longs and shorts. The idea that the price can easily be moved 20% in a day with a single pump or dump, two days in a row even, should make it obvious to anyone by now. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

Bitcoin futures exchange Bakkt also reported the highest daily volume today. Bakkt saw a trading volume of 1131 BTC. The sudden pump could be a clear sign of market manipulation as bitcoin surged through all technical resistance in no time at all.

Indeed, but to have such huge tide in a short time really intrigue our curiosity, what happens? who did it? who brought millions of dollars to the market?
Manipulation like this will end with another massive dump, "they" will wait until the price reaches a certain point to dump it like happened in last month when bitcoin tumbled $1000 in a few hours.

Since whales keep moving their funds in and out, we can't be so sure when they will make another "action".

Manipulation is not new in crypto world, if you know how to play the game, you'll be able to benefit from this manipulation.
There is a big rise, it was the biggest rise in just one day since 2011 and I am optimistic this will help a lot for bitcoin to end this year with a great price.
It has a momentum now, I am not anymore expecting a dump and I also like what I am seeing on the altcoins market.

Lets bring that FOMO again. Grin

In my opinion BTC is manipulation. If you and some of your friends have about 300,000 BTC between each other, and can move the market by selling off 50,000 BTC which means you can then buy more BTC for cheap wouldn't you? your answer is obvious, because it's basically free money.

I personally believe a lot of the parabolic movement in the Bitcoin is initiated by whales (especially alts), If you bought BTC a long time ago and if you hold about 100,000-500,000 BTC you can very easily cause the market to panic by selling off chunks of your BTC. Panic causes prices to dump further (like two days ago) , then you buy your BTC back plus more BTC for what you sold it as. hence, follow the whales game. i would to add a additional point that you should also consider the china news about blockchain. it was the best news for Bitcoin and Crypto ecosystem.

Btc is not just an ordinary crypto that we can simply conclude that its price has been manipulated without proper public evidence.

We need to understand that btc market domonance and value can not make it an easy beast to tame.

I am also eager to know the reason behind the upsurge but i will not subscribed to mere words but concrete evidence(s).

Definitely not, and the quote above may have something to do with it, but without knowing what all that Bakkt volume was all about, nobody can really tell what caused this jump. I'd be hard pressed to say that it was just a flurry of buying that came out of nowhere, because there hasn't been any real news or even rumors that would drive that sort of thing. Seems like it would have to be one or two big market players doing a lot of buying, perhaps with options on Bakkt. Who knows?

I'm not complaining, tho. I also don't expect the price to stabilize where it's at right now, but a break to the upside is much better than the alternative. I expect there are a lot of traders right now that are really happy.

Well, we can't really be sure about how the price pump suddenly happened. Could be as you said, china's involvement, some said it was Bakkt and some said whales' manipulation of the market. One thing could be sure though, such sudden pump would see a stabilization in the near few days since it seems such pump has no foundation to stand and retain its position. I'd expect it to go back to less than 9k and stabilize its price there.
