✍ In the world of trading, especially in cryptocurrencies and low liquidity markets, the term "whales" is used to refer to large investors who own massive amounts of assets.
So do whales monitor the movements of small traders? The answer:
Not literally... but yes, partially!
How?
Whales do not monitor individual traders specifically, but they:
Monitor liquidity levels and buy/sell orders to identify market weaknesses.
Use data analysis tools to reveal "accumulation" or "panic" in the behavior of small traders.
Sometimes make large moves (like pumping prices then pulling them back) to trick novice traders (known as “Pump and Dump”).
Examples:
- Whale manipulation in small cryptocurrencies (Shitcoins).
- Pressing prices to break stop-loss points for small speculators.
