Being an individual, it is almost impossible to manipulate bitcoin price unless you have few millions to trade in crypto currency market. However, if you have a group of traders with you with good numbers of investment, you may try to put some fake trading requests with good volume and you wish may be fulfilled. But the chance is rare.
Check the market cap of bitcoin. So it is not possible for an individual to fake bitcoin price. A million dollar may come handy there. Just a suggestion!
We do not need millions of dollars to manipulate. So manipulation with million dollars can be done, but that's not the only way.
For example, manipulation with media organizations may be possible. It is possible to manipulate prices through news sites that broadcast Bitcoin. With the negative news, it is possible to reduce the price. We can buy bitcoin at a low price. Then we can sell it when the price goes up.
