This period is considered one of the longest times that the cryptocurrency market has witnessed clear manipulation by the whales, as market movements are controlled through the repeated injection and withdrawal of liquidity, causing sharp fluctuations and affecting the decisions of small investors.

When compared to previous periods, such as what happened in mid-2021 or early 2018, we notice that the current manipulation extends over a longer duration and is characterized by fluctuations within a relatively narrow price range without a clear direction.

This behavior indicates an attempt by the whales to control investor sentiment and wait for an appropriate moment for a price explosion upwards.

Therefore, investors should exercise caution and not get carried away by momentary movements, focusing instead on long-term investments.
