What is a Crypto Whale?

[saoussen5765]

Hello,
Whales are a very large type of fish, and every time the whale moves, all the fish around it will be affected, because this is why in the business world the term Whales is applied to big investors. In the crypto world, the term Whale refers to individuals, exchanges or institutions that have at least 1000 Bitcoins of crypto. So that the movements of these big investors will be able to influence prices and even trends.
Retail investors only need to use technical analysis to be able to monitor prices and where prices will move up or down, so they are not trapped by the game of the whales.
After all, holding large amounts of crypto can be used to manipulate the market, this is what I don't understand until now, how do Whales manipulate the crypto market? Would you please explain to me. thanks

Because the whales hold large amounts of Bitcoin, whatever their movements will always cause waves in the crypto market, also the whales are able to control and manipulate market prices. There are many ways that Bitcoin whales can apply, including: Sell Wall, Buy Wall, Pumps and Dumps, Wash trading, Cross trading, Layering and Spoofing, Moving Whales.
