Very steep walls at the edges of the hourly bollinger bands. Hold enough back so you can adjust when someone decides you're holding the market too stable.
BUY BUY BUY! That's what i would do.
If you were the manipulator, what would you do? How would you 'direct' the market and why?
Of course there is the option to 'fleece the dumb people' like we recently saw with extreme leveraging/bragging on bitcoinica.
But at some stage you have to also protect your own wealth and having it fluctuate like mad isn't in those interests.
And also there may be some desire to set a 'nice' growth rate, something consistent, sustainable, appealing to other potential investors.
Me personally, if I were the manipulator, I have no idea what I'd do. Probably make the market seem more stable than perhaps it really should be so it looks desirable for new money that may be lurking (which does sorta seem to be the theme since that large shakeup).
