🔥 Who makes Crypto prices rise/fall?
1) Market Maker (MM) – The number 1 power
• Liquidity provider for the token.
• Controls price volatility, sweeps stop-loss, creates pump/dump.
➡️ 70% of short-term volatility is due to MM.
2) Whales
• Holds a very large amount of tokens.
• Just a few sells/buys can shake the market.
➡️ Determines mid-term peaks and troughs.
3) VC Funds (early investors)
• Buy tokens at extremely low prices.
• When the unlock period comes → sells → price drops.
➡️ The strongest dump source when the market is bad.
4) Exchanges (Binance, Bybit…)
• Has all long/short data.
• Creates volatility to earn fees, sweeps positions.
➡️ Does not directly pump/dump, but stimulates volatility.
5) Project team
• Holds treasury, dev tokens, marketing.
• Sells when they need operational funds.
➡️ Has a slight influence but still contributes.
6) Retail (small investors)
• Only FOMO based on price, does not control the market.
➡️ Is led, not a leader.
Crypto prices are determined by: Market Maker + Whales + VC.
Small players are just responders, not trend creators.
