It is not necessary to blame large crypto currency investors in all price movements. I believe that the price so moves completely by chance, because the opinions of most investors making predictions on technical analysis are the same.
People tend to want to blame everything on the whales and even their own trading mistakes. There is no market that is not one way or the other manipulated and even though this market seems like a lot manipulated due to its volatility, it is something that anyone should understand by now, that there is nothing anyone can do about it. There will certainly always be market controllers and there is certainly no doubt about that, and for what it is worth, the best is just to stick with the trend and know how to follow it.
We will se later the price of Bitcoin will breakout $20k because more new investor will interesting about crypto and the technology.
Yes, reaching out again $20k will be possible only with the help of whales and when bitcoin is getting new higher prices then new investors will start showing interests. This is how bitcoin price cycle worked and reached big levels hence in future too it will work on similar manner. Hence, whales are always important for this market.
