Market whales are the bigger investors and traders in the market. They do not rush the market and the market mostly falls in their favors base on their huge order which will absolutely affect the change in price of commodities, not just that but also altcoins and stocks. For instance, we can proudly say Elon Musk is a whale in the crypto market, we know exactly how he influenced the market with his tweets on X and also playing key roles in buying huge amount of coins. Illustration, when Elon Musk was CEO of the doge coin, he embraced good steps towards making huge profits and controlled the movement of doegecoin.

Do you believe market whales contribute to the downward and upward movement of the market? Oh yes I do believe because they hold huge amount of financial assets like Bitcoin and stocks and each time they do trigger their sell or buy clause, the market is kind of unbalance following these whales ordered in the market.

It’s just simple demand and supply dynamics and since the Whales have enough capital to kinda control the demand or supply, then they definitely have a role in the downwards or upward trend of bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency.

You know even when we say News or political events can affect the market, it’s all about how the news influence people to either sell or want to buy more and other factors. So you can see that some whales with very huge capital can really somehow control to market either by buying more to reduce the liquid supply or by dumping and increasing the supply which will either make the price increase or decrease.

They don't really control the market, they just have enough capital to cause an imbalance. By imbalance we mean when the opposition has more capital to push price, using others investors as their liquidity. They do contribute alot in the market and sometimes it can make little investors hopeless. All market experiences this. Bitcoin for instance since we had the institutional purchasing power in the market, we have seen so much difference in how price reacts or responds. Before now bitcoins price was only influenced by the number of investors who were involved in the market. Now we have many bigger bodies who manage to push price in their favor using large capitals..

It’s just simple demand and supply dynamics and since the Whales have enough capital to kinda control the demand or supply, then they definitely have a role in the downwards or upward trend of bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency.

They don't control but influence the market through their actions which is mostly temporary (short-term) cause they market always recovers after every downtrend, they many have large amount of money to put in and take out of the market which leads to market manipulations but that's not total control.
 Moreover they're not the only once who invest in Bitcoin shrimps too also have their role to play in demand/supply which is the major factor that controls Bitcoin price movement and also why we can't claim that whales control it, they can only influence it temporarily, Bitcoin has it's trend and controlled by nobody but "demand and supply".

Whales is not just to move Market with money alone, and sometimes it's influence and information too. You see one statement or a big transaction from a well known figures can change people's mindset quickly. But you see for this kind thing all this small investors need to sey careful because following whales blindly can be dangerous,alot of times before the ordinary or normal people will react whales has already position or prepared themselves ahead of time and that is why if person dey use emotions dey trade e go make m lose money well well and those big investors or players go dey benefit from the uncertainty

You clearly understand how an order book works when an unbalance in the market is triggered by whale movements.
These whales and large institutions are more responsible for the broader macro boundaries of the market by their buy or sell actions and it's right to say that, they are much more responsible for the resistance ceilings and support floors we witness in the movement of the market.
So it's adviced for a retail small time investor not to follow or invest by listening to them or following in their investment footsteps, else they lose out big time.

exactly it is all about the demand and supply projections on the market, for me whale is just a title given to someone holding large sum of a coin but when there is an action of grandios magnitude that's when the market can be affected.
Yes whales can contribute to the movement of the market either upward or downward but it is best you understand the mechanisms behind that and really what makes the market shift to any direction.

They don't really control the market, they just have enough capital to cause an imbalance. By imbalance we mean when the opposition has more capital to push price, using others investors as their liquidity. They do contribute alot in the market and sometimes it can make little investors hopeless. All market experiences this. Bitcoin for instance since we had the institutional purchasing power in the market, we have seen so much difference in how price reacts or responds. Before now bitcoins price was only influenced by the number of investors who were involved in the market. Now we have many bigger bodies who manage to push price in their favor using large capitals..

 Sured they don't actually controls the market, it's just truly have a strong influence on the direction of financial markets because of the massive amount of assets they control, so whenever they buy or sell in large amounts or massive quantities it usually creates reactions among the beginner's or smaller investor who either panic sell or rush to buy, this can leads to sudden price increases. However, whales are not actually the only factor responsible for market  movement because global even or government regulations and investors sentiment also play an important roles, sometimes whales moves with a strategy and patiently, unlike many retail who traders who react emotionally. Thier actually can crat some opportunities for profit, but they can also increase volatility in the market, well the best thing to do as a beginner or investor is to just invest or focus in long-term strategy instead of following the market movements, caused by big players

The whales have an impact on market movement but they don't control the market. There is a huge difference between having control over the market and having an impact on the market, and that is because whales have enough capital to shake the market.

Most influencers follow up these whales for news that could influence the market amd track the best time to place a buy or sell order. It is evident that its all about demand and supply as a massive buy order would trigger a rise and a massive sell order would trigger a fall price.

If the demand for Bitcoin does not change even after the whale investors sell their holdings, then the whale investors will not have a big impact even after they sell. Even if the market mix changes, the price will be affected. When 100 Bitcoins are sold in the market, if there are buyers who are willing to buy 100 Bitcoins, then there will be no big change in the price. But the problem is, there are no immediate buyers to buy the amount of Bitcoin that the whale investors sell, so the possibility of a price drop also increases. That is why as soon as the news of a whale seller sells, other investors also sell some of their shares and traders also sell, which causes the price of Bitcoin to decrease due to the decrease in demand.

Remember where you said "whales have enough capital to kinda control the demand and supply"? That's what I was trying to clear you on cause if whales control demand and supply it means they control the market cause it demand and supply that determines whether the market goes up or down.
 That's why I was trying to let you know that they don't control but influence the price movement on a short-term interval by putting more money into the market or take out large amount of money which mostly causes short-term dip. I'm not dumb okay, I read your post well to understand what you meant before quoting and clearing you on your mistake.

There influence in the market is not just a function of them being well but rather depends on what there buy and sell decision entails.

If a whale continues to buy and never sells, his existence in the market will only drive bitcoin to more bull. If his buys is insignificant compared to other whales sells, the effect of his buys will be minimally felt. Because there are a lot of factors that influences the movement of the market, the market only react when the cause of the reaction is extremely high and felt across board.

This is more like a demand and supply scenario were whales trigger the buy option thereby giving more rooms for huge bull in the market. I tell you for free, the market is more fun and enjoyable when the bull season arrives, whales will just be staying at their homes and be calculating their port folio because it's definitely be counting millions and making proper Profits. What more can we be doing? The market is not a friend to anyone so we shouldn't place high hope and expectations about the market always going our way and the days it don't move our direction, it's simple, we take our L and move on, probably wait for another opportunity for us to trigger our buy. You're also right about the market seeing to react each time factors influencesbthe movement of the market.

In practice these whales don't really control or have no power over the market but, one thing that we all needs to recognize is that the crypto market is a very sensitive one. So at the slightest impact whether negative or positive has a huge influence on the crypto market. That is why it does look like when ever these whale buyers dumped their coins by selling it affects the price of the market negatively at the same time when ever they buy it also affects the price. Let's just say that due to the sensitive nature of the crypto market, the market only reacts to it.

Whales have a hand in the market movement and they are easily triggering trades because they're here to earn profits. This is what it feels like, to sit at the top with proper strategy and knowing the movement of the market. The buy demand of these whales is always seen to be compatible and huge because they have made larger orders which might be covering half of the market with a single buy, the market can start getting bullish candles and we know exactly what it means when bullish candles are form, it means the bull market is here and coins will start pumping, the same thing also happen when these whales trigger the sell order in the market.

Whales play key roles in the market especially in the pump and dump of the market. Whales knows exactly what to do, the buttons to touch inother to keep the market in a shaky dimension, they're not entirely controlling the market but at least, they know when to buy and sell since their actions do affects the market. They can manipulate the market to go in their direction but not for long because a single buy or sell order, you do understand what I mean?

Whales is not just to move Market with money alone, and sometimes it's influence and information too. You see one statement or a big transaction from a well known figures can change people's mindset quickly.
The very moment you are a market whale you automatically are with influence on the market price of the asset you holding in larger quantity.

Their decisions causes panic to the retail investors who as a result of the [retail investors] respective small holdings which cannot push price up or down but depends on the cash inflows of whales to cause either a positive or negative price action,

This makes it simple for the whales to use money movement to influence price movement making retail investors with weak psychology to panic sell.

Do you believe market whales contribute to the downward and upward movement of the market? Oh yes I do believe because they hold huge amount of financial assets like Bitcoin and stocks and each time they do trigger their sell or buy clause, the market is kind of unbalance following these whales ordered in the market.
Since they have a huge amount of financial resources, they can contribute to the rise and fall of the market to some extent because if they make large amount buy and sell transactions, it helps the coin price move in the market. The market itself always goes through volatility, but in the middle of this because whales have a huge amount of money, it can lead to some level of manipulation. What you are saying about whales is also correct, at the same time, depending on the activities of the big investors, the volatility in the market can become even more intense.

Who have a large amount of assets can influence the market to some extent if they want, but it is certainly not easy. It is not only those who have a large amount of wealth that can do this because the market can be influenced by various factors such as market trends, public sentiment, interest rates, and economic conditions, which affect the market.

Big investors cannot always influence the market by putting large buying and selling pressure on the market as they wish. In many cases, when demand increases in the market, many investors also place purchase orders, resulting in increased demand. Similarly, when the pressure to sell increases, there may be fear among other investors as well, so when they also start selling, the selling pressure naturally increases.

It is not possible to influence the market by being a single big investor because in some cases, the market situation can go against that investor. However, public sentiment and any major positive or negative news can have a major impact on the market's influence. When Michael Saylor announced that he would be selling his Bitcoin holdings, there was panic among ordinary investors, but that panic did not last long because investors remained positive about the prospects.
