Usually an investor with big funds may be over 100 Bitcoin is called a whale, they can easily dump and pump the coins especially the low capped ones if they buy or sell with all their investments, nowadays even bigger institutions and wall street money is also flowing into crypto they are also big manipulators due to backing of huge funds.

A whale is a person that have plenty of a particular currency. For example a bitcoin whale is a person that have alot of bitcoin. It must be 1000btc and above to qualify as a whale. Price can be manipulated my a whale when they dump some of their bag which make people  to think that the price is dropping and cause people  to panic sell and they will buy back the dip and acquire  more btc. The can also pump the price by buying more of btc for example and people  will think  the price is pumping  and they will FOMO ( fear of missing Out)  the whale will dump on them and take profit.

which I know "whale" is a term for someone or a group with a large capital or over 1000 coins (Bitcoin), if this whale sells all their coins then the price will change drastically or the so-called "dump" and vice versa, 

imagine if there are some people who have more than 1000 Bitcoin then sell its Bitcoin definitely the price will go down.

[zopply]

the term whale was originally made to describe one of the only 1000 people that own 40% of the bitcoin. But nowadays people have been using the word more freely to describe all big money Bitcoin players in the crypto scene.

Whale is a specific person or some powerful organization. In the encrypted world, almost every coin is hidden in whale. They can control the rise or fall of the coin. In real time, when the market is very bad, they can also control the fluctuation of the price. Many whale are made up of miners, and sometimes they even combine media to make FUD.

In some instances they can manipulate how the market would go, I think they can create a scenario of pump and dumps, and this isn't just happening on top coins. The end result is that they're getting profit while others are losing.

A whale is a greedy person that plans to in trap small people like us to a pump and dump scheme. They are all trying to manipulate the market.

A whale is a large investor with a lot of funds ranging from 2000 Bitcoins and above. He or she has the funds to manipulate the market as if he decides to invest in one coin, his funds could be able to drive the price up and if he decides to sell off, the price of the coin he invested could as well come down. That is how they manipulate the market

[Vit83]

In usual markets, they called market maker. The person who can change the price in both ways and manipulate the market. 

[sourish]

In cryptoworld a whale is a manipulator of the market with an investment strength to do so, swinging either which way as per whim.

Sharks are financial investors with large numbers, probably financial institutions, businesses etc

The word whale is one of the terms used in cryptocurrency. The analogy is this, just lie the real whale, which is the biggest fish ever found in the sea, it slows up smaller fishes as well as big fishes sometimes. It is capable of engulfing any other creature into its system. So, logically reasoning, in the cryptospace, a whale buys up coins from weaker hands in the crypto community and most times they cause fear in their hearts, so as to coerce them to sell low. Some times these fears force them to sell low.
They are the ones that easily spread FUD.
They also manipulate prices by setting low volume and low prices at the top of buy orders.
They do the reverse whenever they want to sell theirs, but this this after selling, they will make the coins to dump again.

Hey. do the owners of the world. they regulate the cost of the product whatever. whether it's bitcoin or gold. It's their big game, and we're pawns in it.

[StickySteeez]

A whale is someone with a large amount of funds (something funds of a specific project) who can, by sheer volume, manipulate the market by initiating pumps, or dumps.
