No one should shift blames to weak hands and as a matter of truth, weak hand are the most victims in this case because when their rush to sell their Bitcoin, the stronger hands pick the Bitcoin up from them at a cheap rate and they end up losing along the line, so blaming them for market crash may be a waste of our analysis and speculations because their are more victims than actors in the Bitcoin market eco system.
The whales are responsible for bitcoin market reaction and shift in direction, some times, when their want to buy at low price, their force the price of bitcoin to drop by causing some crisis in the market demands and focusing the wave to the direction that suits them, alot of them have been exposed in the past, but hey this is business and is all about the profits so there is nothing illegal with whales activities, what we need is the right knowledge that will help us to make right market decisions and we need patients to followup with the market demands and act as at when necessary to avoid rush in selling off our asset's.
The current Bitcoin price recovery now is on the right track although we often to see the correction but that is normal. Maybe we will see a down time for Bitcoin which can make altcoin gets the effect but there is nothing to be worry as the market will increase again in the right time. People who sell their Bitcoin fast without think should understand that they are make a mistake but it seems, those people don't care about that. They think that by selling their Bitcoin in that time can give them a chance to buy back at a low price. But the fact is they can not always buy at the price they want. They really must to learn how to manage their emotion if the price is down so they don't panic and can still hold their coins especially Bitcoin.
