1) the price started downtrending in a straight line a few days before SIBOS
2) 16 October: SIBOS demo.
A few hours before the demo we had the amazing news about Sony, AXA, BNP Paribas, ... being directly involved in the demo.
This incredible news came completely out of the blue.
It caused a spike to a new ATH, and then the price dropped LOWER than where it was before the news. Completely unnatural on its own.
But then...
3) after that, the downtrend continued along the EXACT SAME TRENDLINE it was on before SIBOS. As if the good news and the price spike never happened.
4) this trendline continued until like a day ago.
***OBSERVATIONS***
=> Good news typically has at least a relatively lasting positive effect on prices
=> Prices don't normally go through a major event (SIBOS + news about Sony, Axa, ...) and then return to the same trendline as though nothing happened.
=> Prices don't normally reach a new ATH and then casually downtrend on a linear slope like that.
There are a million things you notice that just scream manipulation.
Manipulation is extremely easy when almost all volume is limited to a single exchange: a single sell wall on a single exchange is enough to stall the price.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
And Binance is notorious for this type of thing too, their own coin (BNB) was manipulated into oblivion as well, to the point where the CEO had to come out and invoke plausible deniability: livebitcoinnews.com
