If you suspected Bitcoin price rigging is going on, you're not alone. The U.S. Justice Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are conducting a joint investigation into possible Bitcoin price manipulation at multiple exchanges.
And at least one study has pointed a finger at the Bitfinex exchange. But that leaves cryptocurrency investors wondering what they should do with this information.
Whatever is really going on, investors just need to stick to these simple guidelines...

A Bitcoin analysis by Money Morning shows a spike in the price to $11,000 by mid-year.
It also shows that the slump that plagued Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the first quarter is well behind us.
The Bitcoin price has followed a pattern over the past four years of consistently poor performance in Q1, but much better returns after that.
Here's exactly what Bitcoin investors can expect for the rest of 2018...
BKCM Funds CEO and crypto whiz Brian Kelly sees huge growth potential ahead for Bitcoin.
And the astronomical 3,000% gain he sees isn't decades away, either.

Bitcoin prices are climbing today as news broke about potential taxation changes.
The Trump administration may lower the capital gains rate, which would reduce taxation on Bitcoin.
Here's everything you need to know about today's cryptocurrency news...
The Bitcoin price predictions for 2018 are surprisingly optimistic given the recent 50% drop from the all-time high and a run of negative news.
But Bitcoin forecasts we've collected from influencers and conventional analysts see the No. 1 cryptocurrency gaining anywhere from 118% to 2,170% by the end of the year.
Here's what you can expect from the price of Bitcoin in 2018...

With Bitcoin prices falling, investors are panicking and selling their coins.
It's hard to handle a 50% price drop in a month.
But as history as shown, this is the best time to buy Bitcoin for the largest profits...
It makes sense to buy Bitcoin now regardless of what you think of it.
That's because the Bitcoin price still has the potential to rise many times higher, despite the 1,325% gains the cryptocurrency enjoyed in 2017.
Even if you think it's a bubble, the math says that buying Bitcoin - less than 5% of your portfolio - is well worth the risk.
Here's why buying Bitcoin makes sense for just about every investor...
After a 1,325% gain last year, a Bitcoin price prediction of $75,000 for 2018 may seem like expecting lightning to strike twice.
But this Bitcoin price forecast comes from John Pfeffer, a London-based private equity investor who spent 11 years as a partner at private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
Pfeffer looked at cryptocurrencies from the standpoint of a veteran investor and concluded that the price of Bitcoin may be poised to go on a run that takes it not just to $75,000, but well beyond.
Here's how he sees this scenario unfolding...
What investors need is a Bitcoin value chart that can tell them when the cryptocurrency has ventured into bubble territory and when it's just going through a consolidation.
Such a chart exists, the creation of independent cryptocurrency researcher Willy Woo. By dividing Bitcoin's market cap by its daily transaction value, he's created what he calls the NVT ratio - a tool to measure whether the Bitcoin price is too high, too low, or fairly valued.
Here's what the NVT ratio is telling us about the price of Bitcoin now...
Bitcoin futures trading, which just launched this month, will play a key role in driving Bitcoin as high as $50,000 in 2018.
Two major exchanges, CME and CBOE, are now trading Bitcoin futures. Since CBOE first announced its plans back in August, Bitcoin is up more than fivefold.
But the impact of Bitcoin futures trading has only just begun.
It has prepared the way for a much more powerful catalyst, expected to go live in 2018...
A surge of people are looking for ways to buy Bitcoin with a credit card following a leap in the price, from $6,000 to more than $11,000, last month.
It's actually not that hard to buy Bitcoin with a credit card now. Several of the top Bitcoin exchanges offer it as an option. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.
Before you buy Bitcoin with a credit card, read this...
With the $10,000 milestone achieved, many investors in the No. 1 cryptocurrency are asking, "Should I sell my Bitcoin?"
The Bitcoin price is up more than 1,000% in 2017 and a stunning 1,350% over the past 12 months. That makes profit-taking very tempting.
But cashing out everything might not be the best strategy.
Here's what investors need to consider before they sell all their Bitcoin...
A Bitcoin price prediction of $1 million from a Wall Street veteran like hedge fund manager Mark Yusko has raised eyebrows when such weighty figures as JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon are trashing the cryptocurrency as a dangerous bubble.
One of the main reasons Yusko cites is one we've seen work its magic before: the network effect. Also known as Metcalfe's Law, this principle says that as a network adds users, its value increases exponentially.
And in Bitcoin's case, that has extraordinary implications...
When Ronnie Moas makes a Bitcoin price prediction, you want to listen.
When he said Bitcoin would climb to $5,000, he was right. He said Bitcoin would then climb to $7,500, and it's almost there.
