Topic: Is market manipulation a common occurrence everywhere? - page 6. (Read 832 times)

Individuals who wield a lot of influence, unions and just about anyone in a position of power and authority. A lot of manipulation of the market occurs when people get greedy in order to make a lot of profits. While it may not exactly be that much of a common occurrence as it’s viewed as being unethical and illegal, it happens and would probably continue to happen.
I think the market as well as a whole lot of other things are open to manipulation from people who are influential as well as others who stand to profit. That’s why despite the policies put forward to curb this practice, it still happens.

Generic indeed and something that could really be known with having make use of your own common sense in regarding about markets which it is really that prone to manipulation. It doesnt only affect out those

traditional markets like forex,stocks and indices but also including crypto market as well. The only thing that differs is that due to decentralized aspect and equally distribution when it comes to supply and everything
then we could say that it wont really be that easily be manipulated.It is really just that whenever crashes happen this is where it to pertains the most about having that emotional aspect on which it is really that something that you would really be able to tell that his market is really heavily be influenced by emotions.

This is why it would really be ideal that you shouldn't really be just focusing on technical analysis but also with technical ones too on which not all the times that indicators would really be that relevant.
It could really be affected with some news that circles around the market. If you arent that careful then it would really be messing up your entire analysis.

Essentially, if there is no manipulator in a particular market, that market becomes sluggish and boring.There are a lot of markets now - and it takes a strong movement in a particular market to draw attention to it. Yes, manipulators are evil, but they are often a necessary evil.

It's too generic a question really, market manipulation can happen at the level of central banks or it can happen at the level of somebody who creates themselves a pump'n'dump altcoin, plus a wide range beyond that. Market manipulation can happen in every industry and at all scales within that industry. It often happens when there is a monopoly or duopoly of some kind, which is why regulators often try to break them and avoid situations where they occur. Something at the level of a currency, at least of the most popular in the world - the US dollar, is way harder to manipulate than any of the other currencies out there and is unlikely to be targeted by individuals. However countries like China are in a constant tug of war trying to devalue their own currency to benefit.

When the power you rely on is money, something you want to control can be successful as long as it can influence more people to do the same thing at one time. This means that controlling the value of a currency or the price of a particular currency in the market will only be successful if there is a group of people with more money power who are willing to move to do the same thing so that the price or value of money changes in a matter of days. So this kind of thing can indeed be done successfully by certain entities.

For the example you gave, it might be possible to manipulate it, but until now I don't think that anything related to money can be manipulated. An example is the collector of antiques or goods with very limited production in this world, because when antiques or goods with a limited number of units are collected by one person, this can trigger the owner of the item to make the price more expensive, even though he can also make the price cheaper when he no longer likes the item. So not everything related to money can be easily manipulated by certain entities.

The whales are the types of individuals that have the amount of money to manipulate the market, sometimes they carryout this act independently  while other times the combined their forces together to pump or dump the price of different cryptocurency projects and whenever they do that affect the market gets a reaction from day traders and the market continue dumping or pumping depending on what was the action of the whales.

When it comes to trading, everything can be manipulated and this includes Bitcoin because the more the coins are saturated with some elite groups of members the higher their chances of manipulating the market but their manipulation doesn't last very long in the market.

It cannot be denied that markets can be manipulated by those who have strong enough financial power, but this is not a common occurrence because most markets have rules, regulations and supervisory institutions that work to prevent and overcome manipulative activities in order to maintain market efficiency by respective state authorities for the stock market.
Acts of manipulation are illegal acts that harm many people, of course this will always be anticipated even though there are still some bad actors who succeed in doing it.
So the point is don't influence and look bad at these things because in my opinion being manipulated is not a common thing to happen.

On every occasion, there inevitably emerges individuals who exploit specific circumstances to generate greater financial gains. This essentially means that all markets, including stocks, bonds, and currency, can be manipulated by anyone wielding economic power or positional authority.

Esteemed top-tier exchangers, with their high repute, are also capable of crafting fictitious order books and altering candlestick movements, particularly within centralized systems they implement. Numerous practices involve diverting legal pathways through the influence of money, especially within developing nations. This implies that reshaping market trajectories through financial means is also plausible.

In my opinion, individuals possessing immense wealth wield the capacity to engage in virtually unrestricted actions. Moreover, those occupying pivotal roles within relevant business sectors also bear significant influence. A notable example would be the apex stock exchange. Furthermore, individuals of high standing, universally revered, can serve as triggers for market manipulation.

Market manipulation can happen in both stocks & cryptocurrencies but it's important to know that not all market activity is manipulative. While there have been instances of manipulation such as pump and dump schemes or spoofing they are rare & often illegal. Regulators & exchanges take measures to detect and prevent manipulation & increased transparency in the financial markets helps to minimise its impact. One of the reasons the SEC hates crypto is because of manipulation but then again Congress are one of the worst inside traders around in regular stocks & markets.

Manipulation is an integral part when it comes to finance and investing.  you don't need to worry or doubt, just try to put yourself in that position. If you had a lot of money and a lot of power, would you try to manipulate the market?  i bet there's none of us who wouldn't do it if given the chance, so let's face it, any financial market is subject to manipulation.  as for cryptocurrencies, I believe this is a manipulated market largely because it is so small, unregulated and a free market...It would be naive to think that it moves according to supply and demand.

There are different forms in which the crypto market can be easily manipulated and most of the time, only Altcoins do this except for bitcoin, even the ones that you see with prefix of DEFi all around their names all do this habit of market manipulation and all depends on the distribution of the coins in supply and the total supply.

-When half of the circulating supply of a coin is in the hands of one or two people, it is always easy to do whatever they want, they can manipulate the coins with the little stablecoin in their possession, drag the price to what they want and then sell everything to exit the project completely, the few buyers will be forever waiting for other victims, they may get lucky or they will remain in that lost forever.

-When the team have both circulating supply and the rest of the supply and all under their care, they can do whatever they like, especially when they comes to a disagreement between them, they can offload the coin on the market which can plunge the price of the token.

To avoid this, avoid altcoins and buy only bitcoin or you can do your research to see how coins are distributed among people before you buy any of them, you can also check website analytics that gives updates on how tokens are been unlocked by different projects.

USD and other fiat money is definitely manipulated since it's controlled by the government and they need their currency to be in good value. Cryptocurrency, most of altcoins can be easily manipulated since they are mostly centralized, the central hold most of the coins and they can do anything they want with that. Bitcoin is decentralized so it's difficult to be manipulated, not impossible but the very difficult.

I would not say it is about absolute control over securities, stocks and crypto-currencies, It is more about influence on the sentiment of the market. That is why sometimes you see some FOMO or FUD campaigns are created, because in order to successfully manipulate the market one does not only need to have a significant amount of money or the said asset but also change the way of thinking of those who are also big investors or even retailer investors, so your movements can be amplified by millions of people who are not aware of what it is going on.

Assuming a whale wanted to decrease the amount of Bitcoin, it would continent for them for invest some thousands in creating a FUD campaign, so when the selling times comes, the initial drop they could have caused gets multiplied by the idea already sown in the min of the regular Bitcoin speculator.

I think this indeed happens in all major markets around the planet.

Manipulation is a form of behavior that we define as using others for their own benefit. In other words, it is a behavior used wherever people are, whether in crypto or in the social environment.

Manipulating the economy is acting in a way that impresses other people in order to make more money. Many celebrities do this today. At the same time, manipulation is a difficult case to prove. People who defend themselves in lawsuits say that what they are doing is not manipulation, they are just telling their ideas to others because they think that they will gain profit. Because it is the individual's choice whether to follow these ideas or not, cases often end in favor of the manipulator.

I think everything in this world that has to do with money can be manipulated. The important thing here is who will manipulate it.

A single person couldn't have a huge impact to the market if he tried to manipulate it even he put a large amount it wouldn't even a big changes in the market. Most of them are in groups, institute like the government and the elite people that can have a lot of capital to invest or dump in the market, most likely it would affect the market that's why people follow them in their social media accounts or having a telegram for them to take advantage whenever they started to call a dump or invest. Just like Elon trying to hype meme coins and people were also taking advantage by just investing on them. In my opinion, everything that related to the money can be manipulated but not all of them can be control just like Bitcoin since its decentralized that's why it's good thing to invest at it.

It is not completely manipulable in Bitcoin, but for altcoins, people can really manipulate it, but for Bitcoin, it is just that it can touch the price, like what happened when Elon sold his Bitcoin holdings and the price dropped, but again, it is not completely manipulable as that is really the cycle of the market. There are really big whales in Bitcoin that probably do the same, but again, they can't control the price. But in fiat, the government and banks can control it, which is almost the same with other stuff like foods, where they can increase the price of whatever they want.

While a single entity might, for a moment, cause a ripple in the market, it's absolutely naive to think they command the tides. Markets have their own minds. What you said about a temporary dip followed by recovery? It's always been this way, always!.The strength of a market isn't determined by an Elon Musk tweet or even a giant sale from SpaceX. No, no. It’s the collective force of the players in the game

Now, as for the recent Bitcoin upheaval... it's a textbook case! An old dance, but with new partners. The price went down; then it went up. It’s cyclical, folks. Sure, news influences the market, always has, but to say SpaceX or any one entity has the power to permanently affect it? That's giving them too much credit! It's all about the bigger picture, the grander scheme of things

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? If SpaceX sells some Bitcoin and the price temporarily dips, did it ever really matter in the long run? The market will always find its way, trust me. Always

Yes for centralized coins because the team and creator are holding their premined coins, they can also add or decrease the supply anytime they want. Not to mention they can run away easily when they've make a lot money and they will create a new altcoin.

Yeah it's because of stupid people are relying on that centralized entity about their investment decision, when this entity buy Bitcoin, they will buy too and make the price increase, and vice versa.

Manipulation is something that cannot be separated from the world of economics. Rich companies/individuals usually manipulate the market to achieve their goals, whether it is to increase their company's exposure, increase the value of a crypto, etc. Even the richest people in the world today often carry out acts of manipulation in order to increase their wealth or bring down their business opponents and this is normal in the economic world.

The market never changes through a certain person. Maybe if a person or organization sells a lot of a certain coin in the market, the market immediately gets dumped a little, but later the market recovers to the extent of the dumping, so a certain person or organization never changes the entire market. The market changes a lot when there is good news or bad news about a particular coin in the market. A few days ago there was a sudden change in the Bitcoin market which led many to speculate that SpaceX had sold a significant amount of BTC causing the price of BTC to fall so low, but now that the market has returned to a positive state, we will explain in a short time. This is why the market changes so much.
