#BTCUnbound The whales of trading are large investors who possess huge capital that allows them to easily influence the markets. Some of their most notable tricks include: pump and dump, where they raise the price of a coin and then suddenly sell to realize profits, causing losses for small traders. They also use fake buy or sell orders (Spoofing) to manipulate the market and hunt stop-loss orders by intentionally breaking support levels. Additionally, they spread rumors or false news to create panic (FUD) or induce greed (FOMO). In low liquidity markets, they can easily steer prices. To protect yourself, avoid entering into unjustified pump waves, use stop losses away from hunting points, and don't rely on emotion or rumors, but rather on technical and fundamental analysis. Understanding these tricks protects you from falling victim to them and gives you more conscious and profitable trading.
