Despite the overall bear market this month, the DFi.Money (YFII) coin gained an unusual momentum, moving up the ladder from about $1,130 to $4,300, closing each day for 12 days without any red candles, gaining nearly 400%.
However, within 24 hours, the YFII coin dropped by over 50% from $4,290 to $1,650.

The crypto community speculates that there was possible market manipulation by significant crypto investors against the coin. A crypto analyst Lookonchain believed the manipulation came from two whales. They claim the plot started on November 11 when a prominent investor cumulatively bought $18.4 million YFII daily for twelve days straight at an average price of $2,170.
The whale later transferred some of the funds from the Chinese exchange Huobi to the Binance exchange for sale. According to the analyst, the investor probably made over $7 million after dumping the coin.
Currently, YFII trades at $1,870 with a 24 hours trading volume up by over 201%. Notably, YFII has a relatively small market cap below $73 million.
Nonetheless, YFII was not the only altcoin that suffered manipulation within the last 24 hours. The supposedly dead shitcoin SNM gained over 5000% within a 24-hour window, pushing its price from $0.19 to over $13. However, the coin has crumbled to below $1.4 at press time.
