the whale shouldn't make it so obvious that he is controlling the market and the price

This is a 50/50 gamble now if you are not on the inside. Take care!
Happens with all coins. If anyone believes in 'natural growth', they are fooling themselves. I do agree however that the maid whale (or whales) has been extremely obvious in their manipulations... from insane buy walls to shakeouts. Figuring out their whale patterns is the problem, however.
One would logically think after this shakeout, there would be another rise (w/ MVP release), then fallback again. But things don't always play out logically, so who knows.
