Topic: Do you think the markets are being manipulated right now? - page 12. (Read 809 times)

The market currently is being manipulated. And with various news flying around about crypto ads ban, that's enough reasons for this whole dump being faced everyday. Also the Mtgox Bitcoin sales is crashing the market as well.

Why not ? because these financial institutions are being manipulated it all the time,people should know that these players are here to take control the cryptocurrency market while they can because if the market has trillion of dollars marketcap it wont be possible to manipulate it,that is why they are taking advantage the situation.

Might be because google, twitter and the other social media companies banned ICO advertisements or... something nobody talks about... It might be Bitmain.

After halong mining announced its new miner DragonMint T1, Bitmain's monopoly over Btc mining business has been threatened. To keep HalongMining out of business Bitmain might be dumping its stash to keep bitcoin mining unprofitable. Recently Bitmain started make discounts on their S9 miners too. They are now below $2k price tag which makes Halong's T1's overpriced.

Maybe It was just google but nobody can deny that this bear market benefits Bitmain the most. If things were going well and we were in a bull market, Halong would become a serious threat to bitmain but now I am not sure because Bitmain has made more profits even than Nvidia last year. That means they can survive a bear market longer than anyone can which is very bad news for halong.

It's definitely manipulated to some point. But you have to also consider the low total crypto market cap right now is caused by normies who got burned hard with 20k Bitcoin and now have sold their alts and BTC holdings to compensate the heavy losses.

How many players are in market? Aim all of them is profit, huge profit. Anything wouldn't be manipulated from the very begining but now, market is manipylated of course. For example let's see bitcoin, ether, litecoin and etc. What do you think, these coins can bring big commercial benefit and will BIG players just close their eyes?

There is something i have come to understand about life, most especially when it comes to business and has the dealings of man, is prone to manipulation. Most especially to make it suit their purpose. Since the value of cryptocurrency is determined by traders through buy and sell, surely, a buyer who wants to buy can manipulate the price buy trying all techniques that will bring the price down and vice versa.
Manipulation can also occur during competition between two coins trying to gain relevance. The other competitor will try all means possible to bring the other coin down.

Yes i think so? especially the bitcoin's value because the candle is + - $300 each coin and it only means big players,financial institutions are doing it because you will need billions of dollars to manipulate bitcoin's value! dont convinced yet? learn some basic technical analysis so you would easily know the chart's movements of bitcoin.

Of course it is why would bitcoin's value will fall bellow again ? because these giants are selling off their profits that is why the market is dumping too hard so we need to know when will these people start buying more cheap coins in the market,usually these people are just waiting for the market to start to recover so that they can buyback from there resulting for another pump.

By who is manipulated?

I'm totally sure that market is manipulated. I think that it's quite easy to manipulate crypto market. People react on all news and the newsmakers are definitely controlled. So just publish that EU ban crypto and market will go down even if it's fake.

Pump and dump of the market occurs constantly. This is a known fraud, the purpose of which is the rapid appreciation of a certain asset with the subsequent sale of it for profit from a price jump.  Such methods are illegal and regulated by the legislation on securities and stock exchanges.  But such manipulations are extremely popular in the market of crypto-currencies and digital assets.  To protect investors from market manipulation, CTFC representatives gave several recommendations: Avoid buying virtual coins or tokens on the recommendation from the outside, especially if advice is given by unknown people in the social network.  Do not trust ads or websites that promise quick enrichment.  Avoid participation in fraudulent schemes.  Manipulation by the market is illegal, so it can lead to negative consequences for many participants.  There is no absolutely successful and universal trading strategy.  Therefore, if someone claims that certain investments are free of risks, then this is a fraud.  The lack of regulation and protection of consumers in the crypto currency market still opens wide opportunities for the implementation of fraudulent and manipulative schemes.  Therefore, it is always better to conduct an independent independent analysis of the assets that you intend to invest in.  At the same time volumes should be acceptable, and failure should not have a significant impact.

Purely manipulations,and only those financial institutions like CME and Wallstreet could be the ones behind these bloodybaths it needs atleast 10 of billions of dollars to manipulate a single chart of bitcoin that is why it is the big players who are doing it for sure,and we small players should learn how these people move so that we can prevent losses.

I personally believed that the markets arent fully manipulated for the reason that they were so down right now. It has to do with the economy and the real stock markets but with this happening, the FUD and everything who wants to benefit from this downfall had slightly manipulates the crypto markets, they take advantage of the downfall. But no worries. Bitcoin will rise again.

Unfortunately I think it is being manipulated some how. I wouldn't be able to say how exactly, but I think it is...

Yup, every market is continuously and presently being manipulated; this isn't unique to crypto.

If you know technical analysis you would know that the bitcoin is being manipulated especially in the 5-30 mins chart because these financial institutions wants to take the price down so they could buy more before the great bullrun happen so it means we shouldnt sell our holdings in panic or else we could lose a lot more.

Why? Why not

I've heard both sides of the argument and to a certain extent, they both make sense more or less.

Thoughts?
