Cryptocurrency has "died" many times because the whales needed it. Part 1. 🐳

2014 - Mt.Gox collapse
2022 - Luna collapse, FTX crash
2024 - Germany, Mt.Gox, more to come

But after these manipulations, the real bullrun was beginning. Amidst all these collapses, 9 major whale manipulations are revealed. 

1. Position swapping 

Large limit orders to buy or sell shape traders' expectations and mindset. But sometimes these orders disappear abruptly and immediately break the whole structure. 

2. Two-sided trading 

Whales create ups and downs using volatility, while most retail is set up for something one way. 

3. Voshtrading (screen 1).

Whales use sham trading to create fake volume and momentum, misleading buyers.

4. Price squeeze (screen 2) 

Whales strategically place large buy and sell orders at closing prices to influence the market.🐋📊

6. Knocking out stops (screen 1)

Whales push price beyond key support or resistance levels to activate stop orders, causing cascading moves.

7. Chart Drawings 

Manipulators form chart patterns by buying at resistance levels or selling during price bounces. Traders who depend only on charts can be confused. 

8. Sideways

Whales move price to reduce the number of entries. Consolidation usually ends after 4-5 touches, breaking the upper or lower lines.

If price reaches a break point but reverses, it's probably a manipulation.

9. Stop loss hunting
 
Whales start a series of stop-loss triggers by identifying groups of stops at key levels.

They then push prices towards these levels by placing large buy or sell orders to activate the stops, causing price momentum. 🐋📊
