You can say any group of even individual who holds a lot amount of BTC in their wallets, they can effect the market by draining funds like when they decided to sell all their BTC then all money on the market will be theirs, and if money on the market is low then diffinitly other coin value will dead drop, that's how they can affect the crypto.

They are people that use a large money to control market. Example, They will buy a coin with a large amount to pump its price raise and wait investors pump money on and then, they will sell all make the price go down immediately

2023 would most likely be as bearish as 2022

whale is normally 100 bitcoin holder or higher. with those bitcoin some coins they can handle. they can move the prices to moon and suddenly can down the prices,

as an example if they put 100 bitcoin in to low cap coin surely that coin value increases then most investors invest on that , so price is skyrocket. if they withdraw the funds surly those coin value decreased suddenly. thats market manipulation.

ICO starting on 16th of April!

Whales are big investors, but it depend on which coins they invest. Example they invest in a coin which daily volumn is 0.1 btc, so they need only 2-5 btc to be whale. They can control the market with their money, pushing buy orders, sell orders...

Suppose today you decide to launch your own coin. What would you do? Launch its ICO. You would decide on the number of coins that will be supplied and the number of coins that you would keep to yourself. Now suppose that you decided to give 100 coins, and out of those you kept 80 for yourself, and the remaining 20 were distributed to public. Now when the coins would be sold out and there would be demand for more, it would create a supply/demand gap. Since you would be the majority stakeholder, you would decided when to release coin and when to increase the price by not supplying coins. So, manipulating the entire market would be in your hands.
Here, you are the whale! I hope it was easy for you to understand this.

thank you so much sir

Whales are those who have a large amount of some asset (a coin or a token) and can manipulate its price. Sometimes whales play like bears, sometimes as bulls. In order not to let yourself be beaten, never focus on temporary price changes in the market, always look at the long-term trend.

Whales are the ones who are holding a lot of a specified cryptocurrency such as bitcoins or any other altcoins. These whales play a great factor in the pump or dump of the coin values. Once a whale invests its funds to a coin, people may tend to recognize it that the price is pumping then buy for themselves because of the trades. Eventually the whale will take advantage of the price pump and them dump them.

Whales are people with big money and the ability to manipulate the market. It's pretty simple, they have a lot of money to buy coins, well, sales.

Whales are powerful investors that have a big impact. They have so much money in cryptocurrencies that they can alternate the market. They are probably the innovators and very early adopters of bitcoin and few altcoins.
An individual is considered a whale when he is powerful enough to change the value of a coin in a colossal amount. When you see an extreme and sudden jump on the chart of your coin, it is for sure that there are one or more whales together influencing the value.
They are the alpha and omega of the crypto market price.

Whale is someone that is either well known in the crypto economy( in a good way), or someone who owns tons of cash compared to the market they are trading in( if you trade in BTC/USD market with 500 btc, you are not a whale, but if you are trading in LTC/BTC market with 500btc, you are a whale because you have the ability to move the price ).
Whales usually manipulates prices with fake buy and sell orders, they place the order, people think that there is no way that this wall will be broken and they just buy over them/ sell lower then them, and that's how they affect the market.
