Disclaimer: This is the result of research done from the\u00a0outside<\/strong>\u00a0only. We have not interviewed anyone internally, nor do we have any solid proof from individual portfolio accounts. We are merely raising the question from a compelling stack of evidence as a result of mounds of comparative analysis for activity in the market for the last 24 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Edits have been made of our own volition to help improve the accuracy of the conjecture surrounding our findings. The data and conclusions still stand that these market movement anomalies originated from Bittrex.com in some fashion. Whether it was an \u201cinside job\u201d or someone executed a manipulation from the outside is not going to be determined by SynQ I\/O. We leave that to the journalists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

It has been one very convoluted morning. A large number of alts found themselves in the gutter within the last 24 hours, and very little of the volume was seen moving to BTC as we all expected. The usual pattern during the last BTC hard fork found traders pulling out of alt coins and parking their monetary values into BTC, yet today has been an exception. There hasn\u2019t been a solid reason that gives a clear explanation, but the team at SynQ I\/O has a lead. Basically, every single cryptocurrency (alts) listed on Bittrex has fallen in a very similar pattern in relation to one another. Not every coin, but coins that are\u00a0listed on Bittrex<\/em>. Between the hours of 1200 and 0900 at UTC-4 on October 8, 2017, a large number of alts experienced a mass dump executed within minutes of each other. Coincidence? We\u2019ll let the charts speak for us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Figure 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Comparative Analysis<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our speculation is that an entity\u00a0at<\/del>\u00a0[leveraging] Bittrex made a monumental mistake. Comparative analysis, completed by Syndicate.Enrique, Syndicate.Duy and Syndicate.Evan, shows that only an entity\/group with a massive (nearly complete) diversification of alt-coins would have been able to create a uniform sell-off, within the exchange, in the same time frame, for the same percentages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bittrex:\u00a0Whenever fees are assessed from Bittrex, they\u00a0<\/del>aren\u2019t transferred\u00a0away from Bittrex, and are more than likely not swapped to different coins (BTC or other) unilaterally when the fees are acquired. At some point, Bittrex needs to convert these fees into BTC \u2013 should they be motivated to stack their BTC bags.<\/del>\u00a0Considering this, it\u2019s probable \u2013 though still speculative \u2013 that this crash was an attempt to automate offsetting their load. The result: [Someone leveraging] Bittrex dumped their bags too quickly, all at the same time. Typically, shielding this kind of activity would be the aim, using a much longer time frame to avoid creating market panic, with the side goal of also keeping prying eyes like ours from being able to dissect the market manipulation performed against investors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We would like to give\u00a0Bittrex<\/del>\u00a0the Bittrex System [or team \/ or users within in it] the benefit of the doubt, but this is way too much of a coincidence. No other exchange has experienced these patterns in their assets. Cryptocurrencies that were NOT listed on Bittrex were not affected in the same way. Every other exchange we looked at, Binance, Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, GDAX, Coss, Cryptopia, Yobit \u2013 all experienced patterns that were indicative of market reaction stemming from a single source of flash sell-down: Bittrex.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Who\u00a0else<\/del>\u00a0has a portfolio of alt-currencies so diversified that they could sell off volume in uniform succession in a limited time frame?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Argument: People are moving alts to BTC<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is\u00a0mainly\u00a0false. Though it is true, it didn\u2019t happen at the scale that matches with the volumes moved from alts to BTC across any other exchange. This wasn\u2019t a market-wide movement like we saw with BIP91 activity between June and July.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Argument: It\u2019s just whales<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If it was just whales, you wouldn\u2019t have seen this level of diversification and havoc in every page of Bittrex. This pattern is everywhere, from page 1 through page 7. This pattern doesn\u2019t show up on any other exchange in this fashion. Whales don\u2019t buy LGD, come on\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Again \u2013 we are not journalists, we are analysts. We are open to discussion or other raised insights in any of our Social platforms (Facebook, Twitter or Slack).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
