The whales went fishing.

On Friday, under the pretext of the US administration's threat to impose tariffs on China again, the market collapsed at times. Because, as is the case in financial markets, crypto markets also have speculators leveraging to achieve higher returns, the declines caused the limits to skyrocket, leading to an even greater decline.
I wonder if this will become more common in markets that are increasingly dominated by bots and AI.
I don't know, but the gold market could be the next victim of bearish surprises.

But the market speculates that it was whales trying to catch different cryptocurrencies at low prices. Especially after the market appears to be recovering in the three days since, and new highs are already being speculated about. This shouldn't surprise us because it's something bullish whales have done many times, but this time it seems to have been the other way around, and that's less fun for the minnows.
Do you think what happened on Friday was planned? Whales fishing for minnows? Or just normal market dynamics mixed with a touch of panic?
