#BinanceHODLerPLUME Excellent 👌 The topic of whale trading (Whales) is very important because they control market liquidity and directly influence price movement.
Here are the most important whale trading patterns in cryptocurrencies:
🐋 Whale Patterns
Accumulation
Gradually buying large amounts without clearly raising the price.
Often done by splitting trades into small parts or across different platforms.
Indicators: An increase in the volume of withdrawals from exchanges to cold wallets.
Distribution
Gradually selling large amounts after raising the price.
Usually appears at peaks or after positive news.
Indicators: A rise in large deposits into exchanges.
Pump and Dump
Whales suddenly raise the price (Pump) to attract small investors.
Then they sell in huge quantities (Dump) → a rapid price collapse.
Market Manipulation
Placing very large buy/sell orders (Wall) to scare or attract traders.
For example: A sell wall at a certain price to prevent the price from rising.
Liquidity Hunting
Rapidly moving the price to test the stop loss levels of small traders.
After that, they enter again at a better price.
🔎 How to track whale activities?
Whale tracking platforms such as: Whale Alert on Twitter/Telegram.
Monitoring large transfers between wallets and exchanges.
Watching for sudden trading volume changes in short periods.
