Are you guys new to this? That's exactly what has been happening for well over half a decade already.

Do some research and you'll find plenty of information on how price manipulation has been done. The nice thing is that at least against USD, Monero is still stable and rising slowly.

Do you really think that a coin that is in the portfolios of almost all OGs, that is used for actual transactions more often than Bitcoin and took over the DNM would be ranking top 30 only by marketcap if it were not for constantly attacking it?

Marketcap measured in fiat is a useless metric. The fight is real and adoption also.
