The cryptocurrency market, as well as the financial market in general, is often subject not only to technical or fundamental factors, but also to psychological ones. Influence on the subconscious of investors has become a kind of manipulation tool, with the help of which big players - institutional or so-called "whales" - achieve their goals, leaving small investors at a loss.
Cycle of manipulation: how the market "plays" with hope and fear
Before a global rise in asset prices, the market often goes through a series of fluctuations that create mixed feelings among investors. At first, the price of cryptocurrencies shows a sharp rise, hinting at the possibility of a "bullish" trend, and then falls sharply, forcing investors to think that this was a false signal and that everything is going "to the bottom" again. This scenario can repeat itself several times, creating a sense of uncertainty and fear for investors to lose their capital.
Mechanism of false growth and fall
Big players use these sudden movements to psychologically tire small investors, the so-called "hamsters", who are prone to impulsive actions. The scenario goes like this: the market creates a sense of the beginning of a big rally, which causes investors to buy assets in the hope of further increases. But when the price starts to fall, most investors panic and sell assets at a lower price because they fear even bigger losses.
This allows the big players to gradually buy these assets at a better price. This process can be repeated until the "whales" do not accumulate enough assets, while investors lose confidence and faith in the possibility of rapid growth.
Time for real growth: when most have given up hope
As soon as the bulk of small investors lost hope for growth and sold out, the market skyrocketed. Such growth usually occurs quickly and with large volumes, as "whales" managed to accumulate large positions at a favorable price. Investors who did not dare to buy earlier or sold at a loss, begin to think that "the train has already left" and hurriedly try to enter again.
This moment is critical, because it is during such a sharp growth that investors are ready to buy assets at inflated prices, fearing to "miss the opportunity". This leads to a significant increase in the price to new highs, and when the "whales" achieve their goal, they begin to gradually exit the market, selling their assets at a profit.
The other side of the coin: new highs and lows
After reaching a new high, the market begins to gradually fall again, leaving those who bought at the peak with large losses. Many investors who bought at the high find themselves in a prolonged drawdown or sell deep in the red, disappointed in the market. This leads to the formation of a prejudice in them that "crypto is a scam", when in fact it was only part of a manipulative game on psychology.
Conclusion: How to avoid traps and act rationally
The main tips that can help you avoid pitfalls in the cryptocurrency market:
1. Have a clear strategy - don't buy or sell based on emotions, always follow your plan.
2. Don't panic — sharp drops are often just part of a manipulative cycle.
3. Analyze the behavior of the big players - pay attention to trading volumes and follow trends to understand when the big players are exiting or entering the market.
4. Understanding the risks and the possibility of losses - Investing in cryptocurrencies is risky, so you need to be prepared for losses.
Market manipulation is a reality that all investors face. Knowing these mechanisms allows you to avoid psychological traps and act more rationally, which can ultimately reduce the risk of losses and increase the chances of successful investing.
