you cant stop it permanently.. but you can temporarily
december seen artificial holding down of the price
yep whales managed to create a resistance line to keep the price below $17k in december and below $23k last week..
it is possible to manipulate the market temporarily. as long as they stay funded and keep their trade bots arbitraging the spot markets eating up any orders that try to buy above the set levels of the whale bots
yep when on a 6 month period you see multiple straightish lines. thats manipulation
but to do it permanently.. well that involves fixing all countries labour rates where everyone on planet works for the same rough income amount to align countries into a small window of variance where things like electric and consumer price index all align too thus everyone on planet sees goods and assets within the same value:premium narrow window of affordability and cost average(not going to happen)
