Topic: Do you think exchanges are manipulating prices now ? (Read 434 times)
If the exchanges manipulate prices, then most likely this does not significantly affect the global market, I think the price depends on other factors. It is more likely that just now the processes of adopting the digital currency are going on as a really good and reliable payment mechanism. Crypto currency is a big competitor to states and banks - I think this is the case.
It's not a secret anymore, manipulation is part of this business. I have noticed that exchange tends to freeze their platforms just before important news which can create big price moves.
I think this is done by some parties, those who have big capital can set prices as they please, that's sometimes the price in each market is different, but I don't think all the prices of coins in the market can be manipulated,
I don't know if the exchanges are manipulating price now.But in the past it has been proved that some exchanges like Poloniex have manipulated the price by atrificailly trading /pumping non existent btc with USDT .The usdt was non existing in the reserves,but they still buy as much tc as they can with bots,by increasing price for every transaction till they brought the btc price from few hundred dollars to some $6k.It has been investigated and documented by many analysts (don't want to post external links.You can Google to find facts)
I don't think that there is an exchange that manipulates prices. I am more inclined that people who have lots of assets or certain groups will be able to manipulate prices. A manipulator aims to take advantage of the extraordinary panic conditions experienced by the Public. This will be very detrimental to many people and that is the chance for a manipulator to take advantage !! A price manipulator is an irresponsible person, he has a bad way of working by destroying the lives of many people.
Exchanges are just platform for traders to exchange BTC\ALTS\USD , actually what happening now is just some old enough traders cashing out for long time investment in bitcoin or altcoins .
The market of crypto currency is just emerging, but already, like any other market where securities are traded, it is subject to manipulation by large players.
The exchanges can manipulate the price of coins just to make huge profit.
We have heard many icos developers saying exchange charge them high fees,force them to work with bot ,some market makers and deposit some of their tokens/coins if they want their coins/ token to be listed.
The exchange directors also tell them the need for trading using bot pointing that it helps in boosting the volume of a coin.
The question is if those exchange are not supporting bot why would a coin hit 500% at its initial lunch only to fall to -600% or more?
We have heard that some exchange don't give real account of its volume of trade.
To make the matter worse,the exchange dump the tokens given to them by the ico developers,and this ugly trend result in manipulation.
If you watch exchange sees the volume,and this help them to manipulate the price using bot via placing fake buy orders nobody is ready to fill.
Some ico developers giving in to this because its investors are desperate to list on big exchange instead of building the product of that project.
We have heard that some exchange give reported volume not the real volume of trade on its exchange.
So,exchange are manipulating the price and it is high time regulation is put in place to checkmate their irregularities.

The exchange always adjusts prices so that the most reasonable. So the exchange will never manipulate the market price. If big exchanges like Binance or Bittrex want to manipulate market prices, they can manipulate easily
I think users will tend to manipulate this market more because the exchange they have received great profits from users. Personally, I am very careful about this situation and always consider selling as soon as I get the best profit because this market is in very dangerous period.
An insider can manipulate the price since they are capable of knowing which coin will be listed. Remember the Coinbase incident where a suspected insider trading happened when Coinbase listed Bitcoin cash, that one is possible. But having an exchange site participate in such an act will tarnish their name and will put not only the brand but also the people behind it.
Now there are more than 200 crypto exchange so i think not possible for that exchange to manipulate the price of mayor coin like Bitcoin and Ethereum. In my opinion the more possible to manipulate the price is token or coin that listed in 1 exchange only and this coin will be easy to manipulate by their team developer by push the price and then dump it.
I read a couple news about price manipulations, it's a real thing and new to me, so sorry if it sounds newbie.
I am still trying to understand how this manipulation works. This could be the main reason for what is happening to prices now ?
Price manipulation do exist not only into this market but the same into other industry as well as long there are big players in the market which do have the capability on manipulating prices then its just normal to have these dudes to exist into this field and crypto market isn't on the exception list and since we do talk about exchanger if we do try to look up some coins are being pumped up in an instant either on 10x to thousand times and then suddenly dumped.

Price manipulations will not affect the market the way it is right now! I think what is happening is beyond price manipulation, it will not be easy to dump billions of cryptocurrency on exchange! At least I'm yet to see a person with billons of cryptocurrency in his or her wallet!
Just like anyone here. I don't think exchanges has the ability and resources to manipulate the market. They will need allot of money before they can manipulate it.
I think not ! For me , Traders are the manipulator of the prices of cryptocurrencies in the exchange/s. They are the once who buy and sell altcoins , that's why I am saying that Exchanges are not the manipulators, it is the Crypto traders.
I think the exchanges have nothing to do with the price manipulation but instead the big whales and some group that are conspiring to create a price market movement. Manipulating the price is very much possible of these people because of the huge resources at their disposal in which they will pump the market to attract more people to invest and when the market is already much expensive then they will suddenly to sell their coins.
I do not think so exchanging help prices more stable
I do not think so. Exchange helps to make prices more stable

In my own opinion, they will not be able to manipulate the market prices because the price is always depending on the supply and demand so you can compare the market's highest price where you can trade depending on where you will be getting more advantage.

You can always look at the coinmarketcap because the prices of each bitcoins are always compared on different exchangers so we can get the legitimate price of bitcoins today.
