To be honest, I like the current price now. It make me feel comfortable that this price is supported with real volume of holders. The demand is increasing yet the price is still stable. I think the manipulation is already done and price cannot be manipulated anymore.
I really do hope so. Because there are still quite a big amount of fake volumes running off of Chinese trading platforms.
And looking at how China's being somewhat cornered because of their disputes in asian countries, it may well indirectly affect bitcoins.
