So even if bull run is here to come, that won't stop them from accumulating more bitcoin by trying to create some fuds that will affect the price and that's when they will take advantage and buy massive amount.
While those regular investors cannot relate to this, but big whales have their own ways on how they can take an edge in the market and buy bitcoin at a massive.
This is what some people call manipulation, Many people think that this people actually control or manipulate the price but I say they don’t but rather they manipulate the regular investors. Take for example Microstrategy, they usually buy whenever there is dip but guess what they make every of their move public, I feel this is just to get the crowd moving with them and when they announce sale there’s FUD by People so that they can buy at the cheaper price. Bitcoin whales are always those who are waiting to seize the opportunity to get a discount buy.
The recent movement of bitcoin and the timing is something that will intrigue an investor to accumulate although it is not FOMO if the plan is to hodl for long other than it is FOMO. This is the last quarter of the year and it is widely expected that a pump in this period is actually going to be the start of the much anticipated bull run and as such whales just want to add more to their holdings. For regular investors it is best to stick to your own DCA
