Some moments in the bitcoin market might be manipulation by some traders because they have a very large amount of funds in bitcoin itself, but that doesn't mean they can control market prices, they can do things like issues, speculations, etc that build so they can affect the market
Well, it is true but it is not like something new even before crypto market came into being. It has been happening in the stock markets, and most of it are always in response to the market movement or some certain news anyway, but usually due to the huge position they hold, it makes it easy for their actions to send a signal to the market, be it, a buying spree or a selling spree as the case may be. Speculation most especially for this market is a norm and which is the reason why a lot of us keep clamoring on the idea of people looking at the perspective of the value the market brings and not just about getting rich.
the market is really complicated and I think it will be hard for them to manipulate. There are so many day traders and if sharks push the price up it is for certain that they will lose a lot because people will keep selling their bitcoins and the price will go down again.
The hunger is there, it is getting obvious a lot of the institutions are beginning to see what the future holds and how turn of events may change for the positive and in that kind of stance, they had better pull it down to some reasonable extent, wipe out the weak hands and buy up a huge position, while they take the market back up and there is when we are going to start having the laggards who will be late to the show. The whales are always around the corner, and a single action from them, can always have an effect on the market,
