Everyone knows that whales and insiders significantly influence and manipulate our market. However, few realize the extent and frequency of this manipulation behavior.

Traders are losing money every day, and it becomes liquidity as they exit. So, I decided to investigate and expose these tricks.

Whales often aim to remain undetected, but their trading typically follows this pattern:

1. Accumulating assets

2. Pump

3. Re-accumulation

4. Pump

5. Distribution

6. Dump

7. Redistribution

8. Dump

By studying this pattern, I have identified the main maneuvers of whales.

Fake patterns:

Whales create chart patterns by buying at resistance levels or selling when prices bounce. These manipulated patterns deceive retail traders, who use them as market indicators, creating false levels and influencing market direction.

Stop Loss hunting:

Whales detect clusters of stop-loss orders at key price levels.

They then place large buy or sell orders, pushing the price up to that level, triggering stop points, and causing rapid price fluctuations.

Whales push the price down, reducing orders, and causing some traders to exit losing positions.

The consolidation phase usually ends after 4-5 touches, breaking above or below.

If the price reaches a breakout point but then reverses, it is likely a manipulation.

Fair Value Gap (FVG):

FVG is caused by excessive buying or selling activity, leading to significant price fluctuations and gaps on the chart.

After a good price increase, prices often drop back, benefiting big players and encouraging latecomers to exit their positions.

Stop hunting:

Big players break through important support or resistance points, triggering stop orders, leading to chain movements.

Then, they quickly move back within the range, taking advantage of stop-loss liquidations and catching traders off guard.

Wash trading:

Wash trading is a market manipulation technique where traders increase trading volume to artificially inflate the value of an asset. A wash trader often creates the illusion of high trading activity and demand by moving cryptocurrency between wallet addresses or exchange accounts they control.

Faking with market orders:

Scams involve placing and canceling fake orders to deceive traders and bots, affecting price volatility and making them harder to detect.

To avoid this trap, only use limit orders and avoid reacting to temporary walls.

Finally, the bonus ⋆
