We often heard about market manipulation in crypto market. It can be true for small cap, or coin that issue by exchange or for the token where most of that token hold by team. But we also heard it about Bitcoin and etherum, when price fluctuate in large scale. I don't understand how these large cap coin can be manipulate, when these coin are well distributed and decentralized?
Unavoidably when whale holders sell of at any point, there's usually an effect on the market and this cuts across all coins and tokens, some persons do mistaken this actions for market manipulation but fail to understand that these holding were mainly because of profit making and other tangible reasons of which when such is accomplished, taking of profit, partially or fully becomes the next line of action,o I literally see that as a normal human reactions to happenings around the market but a typical manipulation happens with tokens that have most of its holdings with a particular circle or the exchange that created them, they could do this for certain reasons, probably to cause better volatility or liquidation of small holder from which they benefit after the inducement of these retail trades I to panic buying or selling, its more common with small tokens and unstable coins, but with Bitcoin I wouldn't call it manipulation because almost nobody has got a monopoly of it as do other coins and tokens.
