should be similar to those when the smart whale triggered the previous two rallys. If he waits for one more day, there's an increased risk that
the market will slump or we get a correction down. And I believe he wants to preserve the momentum, otherwise the panic buyers won't be willing
to buy his ( soon to be overpriced ) coins. I doubt that a large buy wall will form, a wall that the smart whale could dump into at the very top,
in order to collect maximum profit. So the best solution to maximize profit may be to persuade the panic buyers into buying high.
I already saw new sell orders distributed above 152, but these could belong to other whales, who want to take advantage of the move.
Please remember, this is not TA, it's WMA ( whale movement analysis ), and the smart whale might not act at all. In which case, the market
should still enter a new upward sub-sub-wave, but it will be lame IMO.
Smart whale would not want to increase slippage to the up side while still accumulating. It is smarter to wait for momentum to die down or pull back. Then you can buy more, with less slippage. For a big enough $whale the downside risk can be limited absolutely, unilaterally. They can buy everything that is offered. It is easy to see how many BTC are exposed to the market, but it is difficult to see how many $ are exposed. They may be able to know how many BTC they can buy, but they really have no way of knowing how many $ are available to drive price higher. Downside risk has a definable limit, but upside risk does not, and their position can be overrun to the upside, beyond their control. Believe me, they are seeking to maximize their BTC position by buying as low as they can for as long as they can.
This. A smart whale would be accumulating for a longer term trade, not just pumping and dumping the daily chart.
