manipulation is definitely there. But people are starting to panic right away and the market is going downhill. In this panic sale, too, some people add fortune to their wealth. These are the main reasons for this situation. Now, everyone is longing for the green light for the bull season and hopefully this light will light up as soon as possible.
I strongly agree with this that being a small trader that the market right now is being manipulated. There are many inexperienced holder of bitcoin right now that just a small movement of the chart make them panic instantly. We must always trust that bitcoin will beat ATH and the currenct situation is just temporary only.
