Due to Whale Manipulations, 90% of People Lose All Their Savings
Understanding market manipulation is what separates successful traders from the rest. While many charge $1,000 for this insight, I’m sharing it with you for free.

Here's how whales take money from regular traders and how you can avoid falling into their traps. 🧵👇
It’s well-known that whales and insiders heavily influence and manipulate the market. What most don’t realize is how frequently this happens and the sheer scale of it. Every day, traders lose money, becoming exit liquidity for these big players. That’s why I’ve researched and exposed these tactics.
Whales prefer to stay under the radar, but their movements often follow a predictable pattern:
By studying this, I’ve pinpointed several key manipulative tactics that whales use:
1. Faking Patterns Whales create chart patterns by buying at resistance or selling during price bounces. These false patterns mislead retail traders into believing they are real, influencing market direction and creating fake support/resistance levels.
2. Stop-Loss Hunting Whales detect clusters of stop-loss orders at key price levels. They then place large buy or sell orders, driving prices to those levels, triggering the stops, and causing rapid price movements, often with little warning.
3. Range Manipulation Whales push prices down, causing traders to exit at a loss. Consolidation phases usually break after 4-5 touches, but when price breaks out and then reverses, it’s often a sign of manipulation.
4. Fair Value Gap (FVG) FVGs occur when heavy buying or selling creates large price swings and chart gaps. After a pump, prices often pull back, which benefits big players and forces latecomers to exit.
5. Stop Hunts Large players break through critical support or resistance points, triggering stop orders and causing a chain reaction of movements. They then reverse the price within the range to exploit these liquidations.
6. Wash Trading Wash trading inflates trading volume by moving assets between wallets or accounts controlled by the same trader. This creates an illusion of demand and inflates asset prices artificially.
7. Spoofing with Market Orders Spoofing involves placing and canceling fake orders to mislead traders and bots, influencing price movements and making it difficult to detect manipulation. To avoid this, use limit orders and don’t fall for temporary price walls.
Bonus: Tips to Avoid Market Manipulation
Here’s a quick "cheatsheet" to help protect yourself from these tactics:
➬ Avoid placing stop-losses at key levels. ➬ Wait for confirmation of price action before entering trades. ➬ Wait for key support or resistance levels to be broken before acting. ➬ Avoid chasing sudden pumps or low volume trades. ➬ Carefully examine the buying and selling spreads. ➬ Be patient, stick to your plan, and wait for the right opportunity.
By understanding these tactics and preparing yourself accordingly, you can avoid being manipulated and make more informed decisions in the market. Stay smart, stay strategic!
