This problem is not new, the fiat price is highly volatile and is likely to be manipulated. This is a problem that mining centralization has created, the original idea was to contribute computing power and be rewarded for it, but today the costs are unfeasible for most people, so it is necessary to invest money and be subject to these abrupt variations in price.
Maybe it is because this is the game of some big whales in the world market, they manipulated the price so they get their wants to earn and gain more profits for their investments they invest and thats the real face of this business..

However, there is an indication of the value manipulation of Bitcoin. This manipulation occurred in the year 2013 ago.
At that time, the price of Bitcoin could rise from US $ 150 / coin to US $ 1,000 / coin. This increase only occurs in a vulnerable time of only two months.

In his paper entitled "Price Manipulation in a Bitcoin Ecosystem" published in the journal Monetary Economics, Neil Gandal, JT Hamrick, Tyler Moore and Tali Oberman describe suspicious activity at the digital currency exchange center (cryptocurrency), Mt. Gox, which affects the value of Bitcoin Cs in 2013.
As quoted by TechCrunch and quoted CNBC, the researchers found price manipulation done two bots and listed as "??" in the user's country. They named this bot "Mark" and "Willy".
Markus buys and sells bitcoins at random prices and does not pay transaction fees. Upon further inspection, Mark actually did not pay to receive Bitcoin. Mark generates 335,889 bitcoins and is active from 14 February 2013 to 27 September 2013.
Seven hours after Mark becomes inactive, Willy appears with 49 accounts. Each of these Willy accounts sequentially purchases bitcoins worth US $ 2.5 million and then becomes inactive. During this period, bitcoin prices soared.

If they said its manipulated then why do we need that ETF when there shouldn't be the need for that anymore after all, it gets manipulated soon which there will be no security for those who invest to it afterwards. Unless exchanges are going to be regulated with certain limits of how much it can have in their account then maybe the regulations will help protect investors.
Well, many can say that "Yeah bitcoin is being manipulated by whales" and many can say "Nahh it isn't" but all of these are pure speculations and we don't have a solid proof that bitcoin have been manipulated. Although many are saying that it is (including me), I have no solid evidence that this is happening right now.
This is happening right now with Many of the altcoins, where even people with 10-15 Bitcoins can manipulate the whole market of that token. They are making more and more money from a small investors pocket. That is why some governments put sanctions and regulates the exchanges.
Quite methods for a control there never has been an aggregate control with the cost by altering the esteem or changing the genuine cost of bitcoin they should have a ton of assets in doing it, And by purchasing a gigantic measure of bitcoin they will doubtlessly pump the cost, And in the event that they would offer every last bit of it they can influence the cost to crash in a moment, I truly think there are a great deal of whale players in the market and they once in a while are causing the pump and dump in the estimation of bitcoin.
I know the bitcoin value of $ 100 now is $ 7000
Every penny has been manipulated, not just BTC, but ETH and NEO or other coin whales are manipulated and set their own goals. That's the opinion I think.
I is obvious that Bitcoin market is being manipulated. But their problem is the demand, even if they try to dump it badly to $2k - 3k price it will be hard for them to be successful because many will think that $4k price is already at sale and the demand will kicks in again.
In my opinion, almost every penny in the crypto market is undergoing a price manipulation, and their prices are rising just because of the manipulation of a strong group or group.
