I am one person who does not believe that the market can be controlled by someone or a group. in the crypto market, there are only 2 types of investors and traders, namely smart and stupid. Beginner investors or fools when they get a loss will say that the market is controlled by a number of people, even though the loss they get is the result of their carelessness in making a decision. It is their decision that can make investors and smart traders benefit.
I don't want to disappoint you but a market can be control and without you even know it.
The biggest source that can control a market is the media. They can bombardize you with fake news and you will not even realize that they are fake, leading you to make the wrong decision that it is for their own benefit and not yours.
