It has always been like that, which directly applies to all markets in the world. I however don't really see it as a problem at all, because their manipulation can also play out in your own favor.

In most cases it's pretty obvious that the market is up for another manipulation attempt. In this case it was a bit worse than expected, but still somewhat predictable if we look at how there was no fuel left to move forward.

I managed to buy some coins at the lower levels of the dump, and I hope all smart people have done so. I didn't expect it to dive under the $10,000 mark, but this unexpected event turned out to be a wonderful opportunity.
