You can say that in today's times, no such thing as market manipulation exists purposely because no one can really tell if a movement is done manipulatively or not. Note that there are now governing bodies regulating the scene against such actions that traders who were doing just this are now extra careful in their actions, but that doesn't mean they halted with their activities whatsoever.


I beg to differ. There are some rare occasions when a prediction comes correct especially on situations where there is an expected event happening. Though I agree that volatility and price fluctuation is a common occurrence, one can still be able to guess what's going to happen with the right mix of information and a good eye for details.
