Whales influence the Bitcoin market trends by utilizing certain trading strategies. The Rinse trade is more effective when utilized by a whale, as they have enough assets to trigger a price movement. To achieve this, the whale sells off a large amount of Bitcoin at prices lower than the market rate. This move could cause a chain reaction in the market as small traders panic and sell off their Bitcoins. The panic sell-off would cause the price of Bitcoin to reach a new low, and the whale buys more Bitcoin than he or she had originally sold. Repeating this technique is what they call the "Rinse and Repeat Cycle".
This wont really be easily to attain yet majority of exchangers now do have that sell limit. Ex. not going below or above $2000 on the current price.
If they do allow such margins or gaps then pure manipulation would really time to time.I do rather believe when a whale is on the move is on faking out sell or buy orders
when they are tending to crash or rise up the price.
Talking about on whales moving their funds from wallet to wallet then most likely the reason will be dividing up the risk on losing their funds.
As a part of their security habits they would do such thing.
