all markets are manipulated and no one is honest. the fall of bitcoin from $ 64,000 to $ 28,000 was very painful for investors, especially if you expect bitcoin to go down $ 13,800 it hurts like a knife in the heart.
since it's called a market, I think the $28,000 drop rate is enough and it's full. it's time bitcoin can go and no need to look back again.
Who is actually buying during the $60k+ when they could actually buy it low before the bull run starts last year? Of course, it would hurt like hell if someone actually buy when the price is in the peak. I couldn't imagine someone would actually join the bandwagon after they saw the price spike and grow but only buy during its peak.
Price manipulation?
We are already in there when Elon Musk suddenly leave the market that causes the price to plunge to where we are now. But it seems that it didn't create enough fud to bring the price down below $30k.
