Futures is a tool to influence on the price, suppress or pump it, they don't even need to fake sell Monero now, they can just artificially lower the price on Futures and letting people sell real Monero for doing the arbitrage, it's the same on PM and on everything they want, Bitcoin price on the other way is probably pushing up because of Futures. And Because price is an indicator, if Monero don't goes up like Bitcoin, people will think Monero have a problem, they "naturally" go to Bitcoin instead, this is how you can deviate compass because yes of course, all roads lead to Monero 😄 🍺
