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.
There might be a slight dip approaching the #FOMC meeting tomorrow. Use this opportunity to accumulate more at your target buying levels. These upcoming dips could be among the last few as we approach the end of 2024.
Buying low and holding is easy, but selling high is the real challenge. Make sure to manage your greed and remember to take profits when the market is pumping in every direction in 2025.
Don’t worry! I’ll be here to remind everyone to do the same!
The current consensus seems to be that the market will surge if Trump is elected and decline if Kamala Harris takes office. But I call that ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. We saw a solid bull market under the Democrats from 2020 to 2024, so why would it be any different this time? Crypto markets will continue their usual cycles regardless. Major players are just using election speculation as an opportunity to influence prices in their favor.
Neither Trump nor Harris will have a significant impact on the market. The real influence comes from Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He’s the one who could actually shift monetary policy and steer market conditions.
It seems the market is reacting to fears of a potential Kamala Harris win, leading to derisking ahead of the election. Markets tend to dislike uncertainty, and a close race, hovering around 50/50, is as uncertain as it gets.
If Trump secures a win, this de-risking might actually strengthen the bullish outlook.
Conversely, a Harris victory could amplify bearish sentiment in the market.
I’m seeing a trend across my Twitter feed and Telegram groups right now: everyone seems to be writing off $ETH, calling it “dead.” Honestly, this is exactly the kind of sentiment I was hoping for. Long-term investors are losing patience with the price (One of the strongest bottom indicators I’ve seen in my years of investing)
I’m calling it now, $ETH is nearing it's bottom at $2484 currently, and I’m ready to buy more soon.
Mark my words, I’ll repost this post in six months to see if I was right.
Can you believe it? Bitcoin has been trading within the same range of $50K to $73K for the past eight months! Large whales have a key advantage over regular retail investors, they have the patience and resources to wear you down, frustrate you, and create FUDs to shake you out of your holdings while they quietly manipulate the market in their favor.
Don’t let them push you out. Stay strong, trust your strategy, and don’t be swayed by short-term noise!
Do you really think there’s such a thing as a free lunch in this world? Do you believe that the financial giants are so generous to help you to make money? If so, you’re being naive.
There’s a reason why Bitcoin has been stuck in this price range for months, it’s to wear people down and push them out. The whales know that once #Bitcoin convincingly breaks past $73k, many will rush back into the market. Right now, they’re squeezing as much as they can. If I were them, I’d dump it down to the mid-$50k range to shake out most investors and exhaust them mentally before driving the next big rally.
Bitcoin proxies, in general, are not following the current BTC rally. Binance open interest (OI) has increased by 6% in the last 24 hours, suggesting that a BART pattern could emerge following tomorrow’s rate decision.
Did you miss out on the bullish run of $ONDO in early 2024? Don't worry, now you have the opportunity to invest in the next big thing at just $120 million market cap.
Introducing @veloprotocol $VELO, a new RWA player in the market that has recently been backed by @BlackRock. With even bigger backers than ONDO, $VELO is definitely the next king in the RWA space.
