All markets are manipulated, The problem is knowing when the pumps and the dumps will be.
If we knew when the pump and dump were working we would have become rich. No one knows when it happens except those who control this market, they have too much money and can do anything they want. And this market is too small compared to other markets so its level of manipulation is also much higher and the price can easily go up or down in a short time. I hope in the next few years the market cap of this market will increase to a few trillion, from which we will see less manipulation.
