usually before the pump, the market always falls. and today I see the market experiencing a decline, especially for bitcoin and several other big altcoins. in recent days bitcoin may be able to hold above 9k, but in the end it still falls.
then I wonder if this is really the downfall before the pump?
considering that soon we will enter the end of Q4 2019, and in Q2 2020 bitcoin will be halving. so now is the last time the Whales buy cheap btc. that's why the market was deliberately manipulated to make the price of bitcoin go down. and after that they pump slowly to look like market growth.
so what do you think, is my thinking wrong?
I have the same thought with you. Their manipulation strategy is really good. They are trying to buy bitcoins cheaply now. try to create fake buying forces to cheat traders and then continue to manipulate to get more bitcoins.
when the halving event is coming, when the price of bitcoin peaks, they will put all their money to Short order and sell bitcoin out of the market to execute the order.
That is my opinion and is also considered a good opportunity to buy bitcoin now.
