So do the whales have the ability to dump us into a bear market on their own?

Yes they do, he who has the money control the market, when there's fud the whales take advantage of this and manipulate the market, you as a retail investors that want to cut losses or secure profit panic and fall right into their traps. They make the market declines as the selling pressure become more dominant in the market.

Initially if there's no huge selling ongoing the market wouldn't reaction as much as it does when there's any small negative news regarding the industry. And for your concern on how they sell if the market is declining, are you forgetting we're in a very active market, one that never closes.

Actually their sale decline the market and we havee retail investors seeing every dump as an opportunity to come into the market, these are those they sell their coins to on the market and also already existing investors wanting to accumulate more.

They may have that kind of power to make the market dump or pump. And it makes sense.
Most whales commonly have had BTC from the very low rate and they are still holding at this moment. And the whales will have so many BTC.
And if they are want to make dump the price in order to buy it in dip, they can do it because they can sell the BTC amount that he bought when in $10k maybe and selling them in $30k.They have earned so many profits, isn't it? So, this makes sense. Moreover, if it is supported with the FUD spreading from the bad news, the whales can really control and play the market so easily.
However, there are also many whales in the crypto world. And maybe, they also don't have similar thought to dump the market. Probably, they will also like to fight to make the market dump or pump. And once more, whatever happens, the small traders or investors always become the victims.

The whales have the capability to dump the crypto market into bearish but the whales are not the major player of this current market so it will difficult for a single whale cannot manipulate the market price but if two or more whales come together, they can manipulate the market price.

Do you mean the big institutions are the major players? It feels like retail is just along for the ride and are at the mercy of the institutions and whales.

Absolutely, institution and some private companies are the major investors since last year bullish market start. There is a tweet provider by a social media influence that contain the rank of crypto major holder in this current market. It sad I was unable to find the tweet link.

All the analysis in the world (both technical and fundamental) doesn't seem to matter at all as long as the big players are in control. As a retail investor it honestly seems like market direction is a coin flip (especially now).

and it hard to tell when the market correction/blood bath will happen this year this is the reason why i advice people to seize the market opportunities, sell half of their investment cause the market next trend is not certain.

Quote from: eminan on June 02, 2021, 03:23:45 AM

I entered the market this year and gradually put in more and more money to the point where it made me uncomfortable, so I sold with some profit after the recent crash and slight recovery. I'll regret if the market pumps from here but the risk was too great to handle another dump.

There's no need to regret cause market blood bath is still coming and I'm scared this current market trend could the step into the bloodbath.

It seems to me that the "safest" way to invest is to gradually accumulate in the bear market years and then gradually sell during the bull market, while keeping the most promising bags for the long long term.

Yes, this is the perfect strategy for retailer investors whos not into day trading.

Quote from: eminan on June 02, 2021, 03:23:45 AM

I just got into crypto too late to build a proper foundation that could handle the volatility. But the lessons I've learned have been valuable. I bought back in at the last mini dip for a fraction of what I had invested before. Will suck if we just go up from here but the stress is palatable now. Just have to learn the right way to invest now.

You are never late to get into crypto if you have the require knowledge and understand how to choose the best investment before the public accumulation.

Crypto market can go down on its own even when no whales are dumping their bags, if you can watch the old crypto market chart compares to date chart you will see that crypto market can only be bullish for some time only which thus open door for bear market too, it's like walking in a circle

I agree, there's no need for the approval of the whales to send the market down to bearish. There really is the season when the market should become bearish and bullish. During the early days, there's probably a little influence from them and it's likely the market is working on its own. I believe today that it is still working on its own but with a huge contribution by the whales already. To sum up, while the market can definitely walk on its own, the whales can at least give that motion where it should head.

The whales has many ways to swing us into a bear market yes they can, and not only in crypto-currency, in companies those with the highest share to the company can really set the fate of that company really fast.
But I don't think the whales would use selling of their bitcoin to create a bear market, when they can continue use influences from themselves, and the news, even to the government, like recently claims going around that the Chinese government play part in the immediate bear market. The whales are
+ Patient, tolerating
+ Has the money backing.
+ Influences
+ Capitalize on bleeding market
+ Futuristic people.

Judging by the latest news, some whales, as usually happens, waited for the bitcoin correction, and bought bitcoin at a very good price for another $3 billion. https://bitcoindynamic.com/news/whales-take-advantage-of-sardine-desperation-and-buy-3-billion-in-bitcoin/
It's a common whale strategy to buy cheap. It is possible that they can manipulate the market in order to completely control it. By rocking the market, the whales are trying to make many traders panic and start selling, while they themselves continue to buy.

I had no idea how much market manipulation was involved and how psychological the game really is. After this last crash I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next so I pretty much took out all of my capital. I had to sell my best performing alts in order to offset the losses of the other ones (which stung really bad).

I might dip in again with much less capital and just play around with small moves here and there just to learn more.

Personally I don't think the bull market is over yet but risking a lot of capital is just not worth it. Now I'm thinking maybe just save most of my capital until the actual confirmed bear market and just dca on the best projects and hodl for long term investing.

They would be able to buy cheap Bitcoin but if we're in a bear market they can't sell for huge profits (and then rinse and repeat) until the next bull run. Or is Bitcoin accumulation the be all end all for them?

Whales can make it looks like it's bear and pull it down very low. Then if everything is on panic mode they will saw retailers keeps on selling on the market and if its over then they will start inject funds rapidly or market buys. This will consume them a lot of money but as they can lure other market to buy then they could see a good reversal and slowly will get their money again with profits.

There are many whales in the crypto world. And they have their respective interests. And sometimes they also take advantage of various FUDs and FOMOs to play the market. yes, in my opinion personally, they can play with the market. Whales that have a big power to make prices go up or down can be seen from how much money is coming in or going out on the exchanges. And the victims, again, are middle to lower investors.
Of course this shouldn't happen, but for sure, they have that power and if they want it they will continue to be like that. And sometimes there is also a market war between whales, it's just a matter of waiting for who is more powerful against the market so that FUD and good news will continue to spread.

Yes they do, think of them having this to be their bargaining chip into the markets, they ask for something and it doesn't happen then they will show us who is boss.

As much as these guys can make big moves they need the smaller traders to make their moves otherwise markets won't make their moves.

This is surely what happened when the BTC price dipped.

Whales could already took the coins of those who hold their coins. It's not something new to happen here in crypto anyways so there's that.

Actually, we can say that at some point whales can really manipulate the market. Considering the amount they are holding, it would make a huge influence on the price movement for sure. Even though they have the capability to do such things, surely they wouldn't do it so often. There are many people who knows how whale play games that's why there are instances wherein they are able to outsmart them. We should quickly analyze or predict when will they be dumping or pumping the market so that even though we are not as powerful and influential like them, we can still take profit from crypto.

Market manipulation is beneficial when many participants are trading in the market. Market makers constantly manipulate the market so that hamsters buy cryptocurrency at a high price and sell it when the price of coins falls.
Their goal is to take your higher bitcoins from you. Therefore, the best strategy is to have an investment portfolio in the HOLD position for 10 years.

The whales can dump and pump the market, but I do not think they can do it every day.
To dump and pump the coin will need huge money and it could not do by alone.
If many whales or some groups do that thing together, maybe that can make the market move in the direction they want.
In this bearish moment, the whales are already accumulating more bitcoin because they see a low price for bitcoin and do not want to miss this chance.

Bitcoin market is quite leveraged, so an individual trader with deep pockets can have as much influence as a big whale if they decide to use leverage. And exchanges like Binance allow x100 leverage or even more. This is what has been happening in this bull run - many coins were traded with leverage, so when some movement started, it could go a long way due to cascading liquidations.

I don't believe whales alone can move the market. If it was so, why was the market stagnating for so many years? Why were they not pumping and dumping if they had the power to do so?

Newbies who use leverages will realize what they are doing, have done are stupid. They will realize it after they have loses.

They will lose many Bitcoin before the moment they recognize that Spot trading or holding will help them rich and also have more time for their lives.

Leverages consume their energy, time to watch the market, chart but the pressure is big because they will always feel fearful of liquidations.

Be fearful or not, they can not avoid liquidations.

This seems relatively easy, but it's a lot like gambling with huge risks involved. 24 hour volume sometimes would swallow a similar amount of Bitcoin would minimal effect. Market sentiments are what influenithe price most, if the bull is in effect, manipulations would have little effect, but in a panic season, people are more susceptible to FUDs.

Of course, such trading is a risk - but such people can afford it, and when we fall into the loop as is the case now - it is very easy to manipulate the market as it suits them. As with ordinary people, the power of whales is in numbers - they work in groups that pump and lower the price in a coordinated manner - just as real whales hunt in nature, always in a group and applying specific tactics for each situation.

Their luck is that most of the prey is very naive and has no defense, and even when some learn and change tactics, we always have an influx of new investors who learn from their mistakes - their loss is always someone's gain.

For bitcoin it won't work because a bitcoin whale is part of a much bigger market that has its own directions and won't change those directions if a whale dumps. For example last year there were many whales with a lot of bitcoin who were trying to dump bitcoin to crash the price below $3k but they couldn't and they lost a lot of money trying to do so.

In altcoins things are very different because they don't have bull/bear markets instead they have pump/dump periods and also an altcoin whale usually controls the whole altcoin's price and its direction. If the whale wants to pump it they can and if the whale wants to dump it to move to next shitcoin to pump they can too. That is what they do almost every day to maximize their profit too.

Everyone can buy cheap bitcoin when price has dropped unreasonable like these days. It is not a whale specific thing. And that is what the day traders of all pocket sizes have been doing from day one that bitcoin was worth below $0.01 and was listed on the first exchange.
