There is manipulation going on massively with this market but especially Ethereum. I have been buying each time it dips little by little. It's not as if Ethereum is no longer the most used coin and running the entire token market. This prices is a godsend for buyers.
Ethereum prices are really very low at the moment, I don't know the price changes that occurred in Ethereum are manipulation or not, but whatever the reason is, I think you are right, God gave the situation and ethereum prices like this for buyers to get cheap ETH prices
