As a trader you should be prepared all time to face the bearish and bullish run at any time. Because such is inevitable, it occurs often. If the so called whales happens to flip their big money investment, it will surely go bearish. You can wait for sometime again to see the whales buying it with huge amount of money to resurrect the price again. That's why long time traders doesn't lose much. In fact if you're observant in the coin market, your profit margin will be greater by far than your loss margin.
