Market Manipulation to continue:
It wasn't just a few days ago and the Ethereum price took another dive into single digits (momentarily) when an investor sold of +20 million of Ethereum in one go causing an epic crash in the price.
The Ethereum price is showing to be highly susceptible to market manipulation through high volume trades and now unconfirmed rumors.
This volatility in price in Ethereum, Bitcoin and other altcoins is continuing to gain the attention of a wider audience and given the opportunity for profitability within this volatility, we are sure to see continued market manipulation within the Ethereum space, bitcoin and altcoins.
Trade safe my friends
