Can Hedge funds move prices less than 5% and not be considered to be doing anything illegal?
There are collections of wealth in the world, not defined as hedge funds, but that work to manipulate markets.....legally!
 
You are one of many that don't understand the scale of the markets and the minuscule power of the hedge funds.

The most successful hedge fund managers don't even try to move markets; they watch where the markets are going and ride along. This is called "trend following". There are two excellent books by Michael Covel that describe how this works in the real world.
