Some times the whales just try to make a manipulation into the price of token, A lot of people are blaming whale in this case because the only party with very huge amount that can give impact to the market is only the whales.
Whales can really manipulate prices since they do have the capability on doing such thing since they do have the money to manipulate prices specially on low supply coins on which this can really be manipulated so easily by them.If you did luckily able to join the rise for sure you will smiling on profits but if you do left behind then it would really be the reason to lose up money.
