We must be careful not to fall into the whale trap. Sudden declines in the cryptocurrency market are usually the result of strategic moves by whales. Large investors create a market panic by selling large amounts of assets, which leads to small investors selling in a hurry. Prices fall and the market reaches a bottom. At this point, whales collect assets at low prices and reinvigorate the market, strengthening their portfolios. In this way, they both benefit from price movements in the market and have a larger pool of assets.
