You should watch the chart again. It's needed a few hours after the dump caused by the tweet created by elon. The market was putting their trust into any news that being released to the market.
The whale could be an additional reason why the market turns into a panic sell-off.
I should remind you that if just an hour after the announcement from china to ban crypto and the market gets dumped even worst.
That was the initial drop, there was also another one as well. So when it crashed from above 50k to under 50k that was Elon and I agree with that, or maybe Chinese ban, or maybe something else I do not know, there are so many different bad news that people do not care during bull run that when we are in bear run people think all of them are so important suddenly, so many bad stuff happened in the past 1 year while we were going up and somehow they were "not important".
What I am trying to say that even if the first fall was Elon and only Elon and nobody else, dude just said they won't accept bitcoin anymore and that dropped it, the second one that dropped us under 40k wasn't really Elon, it never was Elon if you ask me but at least that one was definitely not elon, he didn't do anything during that period and that is why I think it was some other reason.
