A Collective Triumph Over Market Giants
In the crypto world, certain hypotheses are as immutable as the blockchain — these are the truths that shape the market’s course. Yet, even the mightiest can falter. These are the commandments engraved in digital marble, untouchable, unalterable; they are the sacred crypto parchments. The myth of the Whales is one such legend: the colossal player whose moves can cause tsunamis on the market, the insider with the touch of Midas, and a war treasure deep enough to survive any bear market.
By widespread consensus, whales are the oligarchs of the crypto world.
The Insider Whale
In the cryptocurrency markets, the “insider whale” figure is everywhere. These crypto titans can shake markets with the whip of a financial tail. The community likes to comment on how their large-scale purchases lift the market, and their selling creates gaps into which the foolish fall. Their presence explains all the market’s unexplained phenomena — pumps, dumps, volume surges — whales activity is the crypto community’s de facto response to the inexplicable.
The power of these whales is portrayed as absolute. With insider information, they are privy to the secrets that shape the blockchain world. Before any news gets public, the whales are the first to sense it, as their vast networks and resources give them a broad overview of the market dramas.
Whales don’t predict the market; they shape it. Their strategies are impenetrable, their resources unlimited, their knowledge encyclopedic.
The Master of the Timing
Imagine the scene: It’s November 21, 2022. Bitcoin’s all-time high is a distant memory, and the market is down 75%, plunging to $15,500. Panic selling ensues, the air is thick with defeat, and the market is bleeding. Yet, in this moment of desolation, the whales act silently, with determination, buying up the Bitcoins sold in panic. A few weeks later, everyone will realize that the market has bottomed out at the very moment, but the Whales have already made their move.
This is the world of Whales, where perfect entry and exit points are a matter of routine. Their transactions are legendary, but how do they do it? The community wonders, marveling at the ability of these invisible maestros to take advantage of volatility.
Whales play chess while the rest of the world plays checkers.
The Secret Weapon
The crypto world is nothing if not unpredictable, and the long-held beliefs about the all-powerful ‘Whales’ vanished instantly with a single event on Bitfinex. This exchange, known for its hidden order feature, had long been a playground for whales. These hidden orders, invisible to the average trader, were the perfect instrument for market manipulation.
In early November 2023, Bitfinex became the stage for an unprecedented event. Hidden orders, once a Whales’ secret weapon, failed to assert their influence. The community of a particular cryptocurrency, wise to market manipulations, stood their ground against the Whale’s strategies.
A False Move and the Whale’s Downfall
The trap was set — but the Whale got caught. Bitfinex suddenly decided to delist a series of coins when a bull market started. The Whale’s reaction was to create a selling movement by building impressive selling walls to drive prices down.
But the community of a specific coin stood firm, refusing to sell at the manipulated prices. Questions about the timing of the delisting were raised, and soon the plan became clear. Throughout the following days, despite the Whale’s efforts to lower the price of this altcoin, the transaction volume remained low, proof that the community was HODLing hard.
Instead, the community seized the opportunity to accumulate more, recognizing the potential of what was to come… and by the time Bitfinex closed the trading of this cryptocurrency, a defiant candle marked a 13% increase in price — a clear victory over the Whale’s tactics.
The last day’s candle erased the loss of the Bitfinex delisting announcement and the whale manipulation.
The Whale’s once-secret weapon had lost its edge, and the community’s collective determination had made the difference. As the Whale was defeated, it was clear that a new day had dawned in the crypto space: unity and resilience could eclipse even the most powerful market players.
