According to crypto analyst @CryptoCred (source: Twitter, June 2024), the cryptocurrency market is often influenced by large institutional players, also known as 'sharks,' who actively monitor and react to retail trading patterns. These whales use advanced trading algorithms and order book analysis to identify and exploit retail traders' positions, leading to sudden price fluctuations and liquidations. For active traders, it is crucial to use stealth strategies such as varied order sizes, limit orders, and decentralized exchanges to avoid detection by these market makers. Protecting capital through disciplined risk management and maintaining anonymity in trade execution can significantly reduce exposure to predatory trading behavior. These tactics are increasingly recommended by professional traders as volatility remains high in Bitcoin and altcoin markets (source: @CryptoCred, Twitter, June 2024).
