Do you think the whales are manipulating the markets ?? Has any one noticed that the current bull run that has been on for the last few weeks comes to a halt every time it reaches the 10 k mark and slides down . My theory is that whales sell at 10k and then create fud so market slides down only to buy back and pump . What do you think ?
Yes there are whales but there are times when we thought that it was whales that are doing it but it was actually a group of traders who treat $10k as psychological resistance so they put a sell order just below $10k so that they can still sell if others decide to sell as well. If you can see the price in bitfinex which is one of the high volume trading exchange in the market, the price reach $9,990 but didn't reach $10k because they put a sell order below. Even if you have only 1 btc which is obviously not a whale but there are others who has 1 btc as well with that selling price and there are hundreds of then, then it would look like a whale is doing it.
