Don't you think Bitcoin can easily manipulate and below $1000 is still possible?
No, I don't think that is possible nobody can manipulate Bitcoin when it comes to its price in the market. Even whales can't do such a thing. Traders are smart enough to see if there is a manipulation going on in their exchange.
some people have done it, and I don't know whether it works or not. however, I think manipulating bitcoin is very difficult. well, but anyway, there must be a way to do that even though it's very risky.
Manipulation works only if the manipulators have a big capital in which they can easily move the price to go up or down depending on their preference . whales are commonly known as real manipulators because they are the ones that has a big budget . you cant call yourself a manipulator if you cant succesfully move the price of bitcoin .
also , manipulating bitcoin is not easy like you said because bitcoin is expensive while other coins alts and tokens can be easily manipulated because they are more cheaper .
