price manipulation is common, and this is often done by those who have a lot of money and have data from bitcoin buyers by desperately placing lots of holder to sell their tokens and then buy as much bitcoin to reap huge profits when prices rise drastically
and this is a fact for old players in bitcoin
I agree to you sir since theres a lot of big whale in the market price manipulation is high possible thats why its so hard to know if the price can be pump up or dump, your lucky if you buy when big whale starting to pump up the altcoin and sorry if you buy when price starting to falling down.
