What we are facing. Recent facts like Trump's threats to China make us think. Volatility, Correction or Manipulation.

Type of movement what causes it and what characterizes it.

Natural correction Excess buying or selling after a prolonged rally or drop. Gradual movement, with moderate volume and intact fundamentals.

Normal volatility Reaction to news, macro data or market sentiment. Wide fluctuations but consistent with the global context.

Market manipulation Deliberate intervention by “whales,” exchanges or coordinated groups. Abrupt, sudden movements without solid fundamentals.

2. Typical signs of manipulation

Unusual volume without apparent reason

Example: large buy or sell orders (often fractional) just before news or even without any.

Seen in charts as sudden spikes.

“Whale moves” or whale movements

Watch platforms like Whale Alert or Lookonchain.

If several whales transfer large sums to exchanges just before a drop → likely planned massive sell-off.

“Fake pumps”

Price rises sharply in minutes, attracts retail investors, and then falls even faster.

Usually accompanied by viral messages or rumors without verifiable sources.

Unusual spread between exchanges

If you see large price differences (more than 1–2%) between Binance, Coinbase, OKX, etc., there may be arbitrage or temporary manipulation.

Mass liquidations in futures

If there are stop loss sweeps on Binance Futures or Bybit just before the market rebound → it’s a classic of institutional manipulation.

3. Technical indicators to detect genuine corrections

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

Real correction: RSI returns to levels 40–50 after being overbought (>70).

Manipulation: RSI jumps sharply without a base trend.

Volume and candles

Healthy correction: gradual decrease in volume after high peaks.
