Don't worry boys, the Bitcoin market will continue to stay down all this year, but will begin to rise again mid next year along with the whole U.S. stock market.
Just like 2014 was, going into 2015.
You see, it's all engineered and managed markets now. It's all fake and completely managed.

Setting aside the tin foil hat stuff, to truly manipulate a market you need deep/liquid derivatives trading (e.g. - options AND futures). See, for example, the overwhelming tendency for the S&P 500 (e.g. - SPX/SPY) to close under its high calls or over its high puts on each expiration (a looser interpretation of "max pain theory"). The exceptions are usually from delta hedging, which occurs when a security's price strays well beyond the high calls/low puts and market makers scramble to buy/sell the underlying, respectively, to close out their underwater options contracts.
Now I'll probably go back to lurking as I've done for the past few months or so.
