Market psychology = Human psychology.

When whales want you to sell, they’ll use every tactic available to influence your emotions. They will manipulate price action, distort technical indicators, or even pay for fear-inducing messages to spread doubt about a company. Their goal is to trigger FEAR, knowing that FEAR could cloud logical thinking and lead to mistakes.

Imagine a burning building with only one exit. In a panic, most people would abandon logic and rush for the exit, creating a stampede and putting everyone at risk. This is similar to market trading. When whales drive prices down, typical investors feel fear. If this continues, they may lose hope, start spreading FUD, and eventually sell, causing prices to plunge further, just what the whales intended.

The same tactics apply when whales want you to buy, except instead of FEAR, they play on GREED. They’ll manipulate price action and technical indicators to create FOMO and use media or influencers to fuel hype with headlines like “BTC to $1M by 202X!” They want you to buy because they need someone to sell to, making you their exit liquidity. Once they’ve offloaded their holdings, they’ll crash the market, leaving latecomers stuck with overpriced assets.

Never trade on emotions. Always stick to your plan, it’s the best way to protect yourself.
