Honestly speaking the bitcoin market is good as of now with slight improvement and not much dump except one particular dump before week or so which provided further pump, but are these manipulation just to for whales to cash out before the halving and then invest again at a cheaper value to get most profit of out it post halving? Are we going to witness major dump before halving?
It could be whales manipulation and I must confess to you that they really know how to play their games very well, they are really taking advantage of their financial strength, so there could still be a major dump ahead of the halving of next year which would make them to accumulate more of those coins, but now that we are beginning to study them and understand their ways of operating.
I think what we should just be doing too right now is to accumulate anytime that they crash the market and then sell anytime that they pump the market till further notice when bitcoin will get stabilized and they will not be able to manipulate the market again, then, the real purpose of bitcoin establishment can be really achieved when all the coin has been mined.
