Whale is a specific person or some powerful organization. In the encrypted world, almost every coin is hidden in whale. They can control the rise or fall of the coin. In real time, when the market is very bad, they can also control the fluctuation of the price. Many whale are made up of miners, and sometimes they even combine media to make FUD.

which I know "whale" is a term for someone or a group with a large capital or over 1000 coins (Bitcoin), if this whale sells all their coins then the price will change drastically or the so-called "dump" and vice versa, 
imagine if there are some people who have more than 1000 Bitcoin then sell its Bitcoin definitely the price will go down.
Usually an investor with big funds may be over 100 Bitcoin is called a whale, they can easily dump and pump the coins especially the low capped ones if they buy or sell with all their investments, nowadays even bigger institutions and wall street money is also flowing into crypto they are also big manipulators due to backing of huge funds.
