Last week i bought btc at around 6800, sold it few days ago at around 7400 just before btc dips. As of writing btc is at around 6600. Will buy again if reaches 6500 mark.
Yeah, small profits, but profits will be profits whether big or small!
I think whales are manipulating the market to get the result you got but they do it on a large scale!
I don't know who is manipulating these prices but it looks like not soon BTC prices going to recover. I think even by end of this year also not sure whether we can see a 10K range. Many of the week hands will sell off in this downturn and only people who believe in Bitcoin may hold on to it to see future profits. I sold some coins around 15K range and still holding some but now started to buy in small amount again. Maybe I will get a chance to sell again around 15K later on.
