Market Manipulation... its all a big ass game. If you can make people buy believing one thing... that its going to go up. Then it goes, same as if you cause a panic. The whole crypto market is volatile at times because of those kind of characters. Still you can´t be mad everyone knows whats going to happen.
Alot of these guys are probably trying to cover costs wherever they can squeeze it with the rapid drops in the market. So lets see what happens, glad you brought this up though.
