The practice of increasing a price through buying a small quantity at increasingly higher price, has been illegal in the money markets since Noah was a boy.  However, Bitcoin is the wild west! Wink

Secondly, you will have people buying a handful of coins at strange valuations ...

Are you sure you understand how markets work?

In my opinion the only indicator of market manipulation is an excessive discrepancy of market prices from fundamental prices.

In the case of bitcoin it's hard to tell because the equation for fundamental prices is not yet solved (at least based on my research.)

I have noticed how a pattern emerges between the value of BTC and the value of other crypto coins - especially at the moment with LTC going a bit higher because of some news involving MTG - maybe!

This post isn't an instruction guide - its to collect advice from everyone on how to spot such manipulation.

First thing I notice is that the price is going up while trade volume is very low. 

Secondly, you will have people buying a handful of coins at strange valuations and this continues until you get to a certain price where a load of orders are waiting to be processed.

Anyone else notice a few indicators of price manipulation?
