I have been observing a trend from last year bitcoin price movements to this year movement.
I have observed how we're getting so much positive news and adoption about bitcoin this year, but still the prices refuse to go up. If this was last year a single positive news will have pumps the prices by at least 10% or more.
Its that positive news don't longer have any effect on the price movement or is their any manipulation going on.
News can greatly affect crypto prices, and for positive news will be able to make the price of bitcoin to increase, because with positive news will be able to make people believe and buy bitcoin, and because of demand, the price of bitcoin will be able to soar.
