is bitcoin price being manipulated?

BTC.D - it is probably not too correct to compare the current dominance of BTC with the past cycle based on fundamental factors.

Since then, many projects of different levels have entered the market, including small and large capitalizations. Just looking at the chart and overlaying it somehow with the seasonality of BTC, we get the impression that there will be approximately a similar picture.

BTC.Dominance tends somewhere in the direction of 60% - 62%, on this background only BTC and some strong altcoins are growing. Then, when BTC is in about the same vertical growth, there is a sharp ALTS /BTC transfer.

And at this point, BTC may just stand still, while some altcoins can demonstrate tens of percent growth in just a couple of days, and small-capitalization projects possible ixes.

These are all echoes of 2021, then everything was about the same, and I assume such a season will be this fall, and probably will be divided into 2 parts. The first part, it's as stated above, will be in the fall, tentatively October - November.

The second season, if it will be, I suppose, is the first quarter of 2025, where it would be necessary to observe the risks, not to get into excitement and take your bets.

I am sure that they manipulate absolutely any things that we see and know, what can we say about Bitcoin, of course they manipulate it and very strongly, it just can’t go up and down all the time, the price would always be the same, and that We see that the price goes up and goes down in equal proportions, you shouldn’t bother your head with this, you just need to know one rule, that when the price goes down, it will soon go up))

Yeah, long-term investors should have this kind of mindset and belief in order to continue to exist and profit from BTC future price increases. FUD is created to make the market RED and to make weak-hands sell their crypto assets in fear. However, FUD will also end, and that's the time for diamond-hands to earn profits worthy of their perseverance.

Whales are very good at using FUD and FOMO to make the majority of investors lose psychological control and make wrong decisions. Interestingly, in each new cycle, they have different tactics and go beyond our ability to predict. What we can do is stick to a long-term investment strategy, while speculating on the whales' manipulation plans and creating conspiracy theories is just for fun to reduce stress in the market.

You touched on the topic of whales and I can say about them that they think completely differently and they do completely different things (not the ones we think about) if in short, now all whales have started working as market makers and earn money by providing their liquidity to organizations that successfully know how to manipulate the market with the help of huge liquidity behind them, and if we talk about ordinary investors who simply put aside their salaries and buy bitcoin, then whales are not a hindrance to them, the main thing is not to panic and not to sell less than the planned price.

We don't need to panic if we buy when bearish and plan to hold long term by following the 4-year cycle. because we will not be affected by whales if we choose to hold long term, But if we do trading or hold medium term we must always monitor the market and of course will always see the price movements played by whales.

We should not be deceived no matter what thinking about it that bitcoin price is being manipulated, this is not possible and for those that think the whales are doing so for them to be able to achieve a target, then we have to consider that this is a decentralized network and we are not having a single whale controlling the market price, everyone buying and selling are part of the constitutes of the volatile market whereby the market fall and rises at the same time.

Bitcoin price spikes can often be the result of the combined effects of various market factors.  While there may be certain positive news or events behind such growth, buying activity by "whales" (holders of large amounts of cryptocurrency) in the market may also be a factor.  If the price of Bitcoin rises from 52k to 60k within 48 hours, it is likely that some large institutions or investors bought Bitcoin, which could have caused such a dramatic rise in the market.  Additionally, any major news, such as new institutions or countries adopting Bitcoin, regulatory updates, or news regarding Bitcoin ETF approvals, can cause such price increases.Those following the DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy can make good profits during these bullish periods, as this strategy is based on consistently accumulating assets by exploiting market volatility.
 To answer your question, if there is any big news related to sudden growth, it can definitely have a significant impact on the market.  However, it is necessary to analyze and collect data from various sources in order to determine the exact cause..

If we are been honest with ourselves, there is still some certainty of centralization of Bitcoin, exchanges and ETF hold majority of Bitcoin in circulation and this are just group of people that can do and undo, some people might say it's not possible for all exchanges to agreed to this but the fact remain that anything is possible when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin us still been manipulated, those who have sold want it come down and doing their best to beat it to lower levels and people that are still holding are trying to be bullish, battle between the bulls and the bears but I'm sure bulls will win no matter the condition of this market.

That is how the movement is this days. And I think because of US election campaign which people (whales) are buying and selling to sponsor the campaigns so that also affect the market so I don't think their is any manipulation yet. I think this week the price decreased to $55k and went back to $60k again and my thought, US election has an impact on the price of bitcoin. Only my thought.

The whaled group will continue to manipulate the price of bitcoin according to their interests, by spreading negative news to create panic and lower prices. and I think this is not one whale but a group of whales, because the capital strength of one whale will not be able to manipulate the bitcoin market. that's my opinion.

Your words can be also true and I also want to say that may be this is the last corrections of bitcoin before the bull-run? I can be wrong because nothing is guaranteed here.

As we already seen that there already multmultiple analyst did analysis and make their predictions but market goes opposite of their prediction. And if we try to notice that we will also find that in this time bitcoin break it's previous result like it cross the all-time high price before the halving and showing some unexpected ups and down on the market. But I think it is good time to make increase the adoption.

Yes, this is the right time to buy furniture, because we see and read that many people make predictions but they are not accurate. This cycle is different from before because Bitcoin touched ATH before the halving, so be careful. Because not everything we read from people's predictions will be true, it's best to hold long term, this is a safer way.

Not barely 48hrs the price of bitcoin moves from 52k to 60k like I was mean to asked if there is any positive news that gives rise to this sudden increase, though wasn't expecting bitcoin price to remain stationary but they way it moves seriously increased without any delay or is there any whale that came to buy at huge? Please if there is any news that relates to sudden increase don't hesitate to share here.
Those who are doing DCA have also made some cool cash in between this shortest time frame as the price seems to be manipulative.

Its a sure thing that buying pressure must have increased due to that the price started to recover and now sitting around $60k. Currently, the situation is a little worrying because there are words out in the news that BTC will dump again and this time it can go below $40k.

Without any solid proof, we cannot say anything for sure but till then we should analyze the BTC market for any type of manipulation. Due to ETFs millions of dollars are going in and out due to which the volatility of BTC has increased and it's hard to say for sure if it's manipulated on purpose or not manipulated at all.

I don't get any information about this. Sure, it is possible that the whales sold their Bitcoin because of some purposes, one of them is for supporting campaigns of US president candidates. There should be whales behind the price movement of Bitcoin. Besides the whales who support US president election, we also have whales of MT Gox creditors. They also can influence the market if they sell their Bitcoin in a large number. As far as I know, they have thousands of Bitcoin.

Someone cannot manipulate especially in bitcoin if this someone does not hold enough like 100k BTC. This is more like FOMO as there's no negative news about bitcoin being whatnot.

US election is far little topic to compare price predictions for whoever wins as creating regulations and laws does not magically made from the president itself, it takes votes from congress and senate then president before it becomes a law.

But for me it still has a impact to the price of Bitcoin or in other assets or commodities. US is the biggest economy (although debatable) and we still uses their USD as the global currency. So we can't deny that they have an impact to us specially the result of the upcoming election this November.

And come to think it of, it will coincide with the bull run year, so all eyes are in the US election and who ever wins and become the President will have a influence on the price itself and it can push the price to where we are predicting, in the 6 digit, or minimum $100,000.

You are partly right, but not entirely so. Of course there is an influence of the financial markets, hence Bitcoin is not immune to it. What is interesting is to know that there is an organic volatility in bitcoin, but it is increasingly far from being consolidated by the effect of the community itself, there are facts taking external factors into account. These factors do not have to be a particular "actor" directly, but they exist, which is what needs to be understood.
