I mean, it isn't new that news are potentially being used for manipulation, and I also really see that it's very very possible some YouTube TA-ers potentially going bullish just to potentially manipulate the prices upward, but I really don't know about the "special fingerprinting algorithms" and the "$5000/mo trading bot" you're claiming to have.
I believed the OP add to his statement which is another form of market manipulation as I'm consider because bot trading cost $19 to $150 per month. Aside that, every experienced cryptoneir already knew that cointelegraph, whales, fake crypto enthusiasts etc fabricated stories sometimes in other to maniplate the market.
I can prove. Easy.
What will be the next price in one quarter?
Who predicted last 2017 Dec's 20k price using TA?
Ask them. You can't use TA in trading. it sucks. you always end up losing using funny cups. Those TA gurus are so funny. They hate to hear truth. Fearful.
I personally don't do TA, but TA isn't really for predicting prices. TA is just used as a guide to be able to see if the odds are in your favor or not, regardless how big or small the probability percentages are.
Some people don't know that Technical analysis is just a way of evaluate the trend poses by the market price and volume level. This why some people believed trading and gambling are somehow similar.
