If these theories are correct then they should be seen as a positive for long term holders. These whalecumulators (like the name, good job) would not be going to such effort to get btc around the $6000 price range only to then sell it around $8000 when they let their stranglehold on the market go and allow things to go upwards. It would not be worthwhile. That means a lot of money is in for the longer term and a price significantly higher than where we are now.
In theory yes, in practice probably not so much. There are definitely whales out there accumulating bitcoins during these times but even if the theory is correct and it is good long term, most people will be gone by the time the next bull run happens (if it even happens) and you don't even know if it's actually true or not, at the end of the day whales can profit from shorting as well so they don't necessarily need the market to go up.
Very much agree. I don't agree with the supposed strategy that these whalecumulators are taking because of what you said. I think it's a dangerous game and it could force out potential people from the market and harm their investment in the long term. In terms of shorting. That would only work out if they didn't have a bunch of coins already. They could use their stacks to push down the price and profit from a short but I believe the profits would be largely outweighed by the losses in selling at low prices.
