Edit: Hotbit is faking volume even more blatantly than Bitforex. Please.
Maybe not on this occasion. Coingecko doesn't think so either.
Other than that, sure Hotbit is an exchange to avoid in general.
Arbitrage with TradeOgre looks attractive

What do you mean by "not on this occasion" and "Coingecko doesn't think so"?
Looking at any chart on Hotbit (also the Grin ones) it's pretty obvious. All volume candles are the same regardless of daytime or price action. It also has that typical "executed orders appearing out of nowhere" syndrome.
