For sure cryptocurrencies price can actually be manipulated by the whales, whales are the big traders who actually trade in bulk with very large amount , and this can actually manipulate the price of crypto.

The high volatility we experience with cryptocurrencies is the result of price manipulation, most of the times. Whales and pump and dump groups make it a habit to pump up the price and dump massively. that is the main reason why it's hard to use cryptocurrency as currency.

Whales are only responsible for big changes in prices. The volatility we see every day in the market has nothing to do with whales. It is just a normal result of buying and selling coins numerous times in every 24 hours which causes frequently changing values. Whales are not active on a daily basis. They buy coins and hold them. After that they wait for a proper moment to inject their coins to the market and cause a big movement. This is how they manipulate prices but this happens once per month and not so often.

Cryptocurrencies has been one way or the other manipulated. So asking if the price of cryptocurrency can be manipulated, I will say yes. Most times the manipulations are done by the Dev team working.

Certainly the price of the cryptocurrencies is manipulated by the whales and some investors who own a lot of currencies in addition to the presence of some currencies that aim to create tension and direct the price towards a specific path according to the company that manipulates the price

[gkapoxm 84]

It can and it happens all the time. Whales have the volume to move the market and pretend to have demand or supply for something that there is not.

[Ridam 7455]

Yes many cases of manipulation have been seen like, the fake pumping but using bot for buying coins and we can easily find out them if we use little bit of mind and the whale are responsible for price increase and Decrease of big coin like btc not wholly but they take advantage where they can take.

Price of valuable cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, ETH can not be manipulated by the set of small investors but it can be done by biggest investors who are commonly refereed as whale in the crypto world.If they decided to make certain move to get profits than price will be manipulated.

If you have a very large amount of a coin, you can easily manipulate it and this manipulation takes place on the platforms whales

According to the experts Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone but personally I think the opposite and I think there are always people behind the price of Bitcoin 

[kizz 3370]

yes there are many situation like that, many exchanges are not true so beware of it. It is sad that this kind of situation happens and I hope that this will stop soon.

I do not think that manipulating the prices of digital currencies is that easy, this is a sensitive issue and there are many protocols, millions of monitors and the feature of the blockchain, all of which makes manipulation almost impossible.

[Rezort 846]

Of course prices of cryptocurrency can be manipulated because the volume of the market is not so big as fiat ones that's why very rich traders can do pumps or other moves.

All markets depend on the principle of supply and demand, so pressure can be manipulated in the buying or selling operations in any cryptocurrency.

[Raqeebzy 6456]

Yeah prices are manipulated for some coins, especially those low values coins with weak project, they use the pump and dump trick to lure investors in and after some while, their value drops again to their minimum low.

Certainly there is always manipulation of any type of economy and currencies, but it will not be easy at all. You need hundreds of thousands of dollars to influence the cryptocurrency market.

Have you heard about crypto prices being manipulated on the Exchange?  I heard from someone who is experienced in crypto management. He said to use crypto with caution. what do you think? do you have other thoughts about crypto?

I don't think that the price of cryptocurrencies can be manipulated nor controlled. I think that there are no people or system that can control or manipulate the flow of money in blockchain because if something like that is possible then someone might try to hack it. 

[Laboni 755]

Hacking Crypto Anything a hacker can do is hack cryptocurrency if he wants to, but it is not possible if we act consciously. But crypto prices cannot be manipulated. Crypto is not under anyone's control. No one can determine its price. Prices are managed to depend on market conditions.

Well I think it is real. We are talking about exchange, so there is a tendency that anyone can manipulate it because some exchange are not safe. What I mean is some exchange are not secure enough where in hackers can easily enters it. So sometimes hackers make a move to manipulate the crypto prices and make the exchange reputation very bad.

[IamLeader12 682]

Yes, the price of cryptocurrency can be easily manipulated, a lot of people make money just by raising the price of some useless coin 

[Omar Ommeish 4872]

Cryptocurrencies are not tampered with by a person, country or company because their price is determined by the transactions related to that currency.

[Mohssine 1725]

No i don’t think this can happen , because the technology of blockchain make this coins no one can control this crypto , because is a open source , the only thing control cryptocurrency price is the market , is impossible to manipulated the price if crypto. .

It's not about controlling the blockchain or network, it's about controlling and manipulating price and the market, the technology of crypto can not help their market in anyway and the only thing that could help them in price aspect is worldwide adoption and use case, because when the volume goes high enough manipulation will have less effect on price.

[Rendra808 92]

I assume its very not possible why becouse if they will control it maybe the bitcoin will now not last until these days.different or lot of exchanger will near and i assume the only coin that manipulated via human beings or with the aid of the financial institution is the ripple.
