I have to agree, there is no "manipulation"...to much CNBC watchers in here. The fact is the funds have buy and sell programs. Right now that is all that is trading, you me and the funds. Most mom and pops are broke...most suite and ties sitting in there office on datek, broke.....so we have efficent markets trading on technicals triggering buy and sell programs...
thus range bound...... we are just developing a lower range, a narrower range for the summer.....no manipulation
