a few days ago hot news / updates about ethereum made me and maybe a lot excited, and ETH prices rose markedly after the next day, it kinda showed a little backward or as I thought. Now ETH prices continue to fall! What caused this? Am I missing something?
That is the usual way of cryptocurrency market, usually it caused by some bad news that are spreading around making any coin holder feeling worried and then sell them and makes the demand on the coin reduced, that way the price will also decreased.
Yes. There are definitely puppet masters at the top manipulating things. Whenever you feel worry or ecstasy, you should think, "why do I feel this way?". Probably more often than not it is exactly what market manipulators want you to feel...
