A whale’s antics today had me laughing.
Address 0xf822 deposited 6.3 million USDC to Hyperliquid again.
Turned the HYPE short up to $69 million.

Entry price was 66, stop-loss at 70.78. Now HYPE is at 70.6—just a needle away from blowing him up. He’s already down $3.3 million unrealized.

At the same time, another big ETH whale, 0x907, topped up Bybit with 1,988 ETH. The initial buy price was 3,178 in January; it’s now 1,777. If he sells it all, he’ll lose $2.78 million—clearly he couldn’t hold the stop-loss.

Two stories: one stubbornly holds the short until it goes to zero; the other cuts losses and exits.

That’s the harshness of the derivatives market: you think you’re battling the market, but in reality you’re wrestling with your own position.

In times like this, I’d rather stay out of the market and watch, seeing how others get educated by the market.

Two on-chain data points today made me feel that things are not that simple.

First, HYPE’s largest long position on-chain has again surged to over $46 million. Since HYPE broke above 70 last week, this position hasn’t shrunk—it’s been increasing the higher it goes. Today HYPE is pushing up to 72, and that player is still adding.

Second, a new wallet withdrew 323.72 BTC from Binance—roughly $20.6 million. A new wallet, a large withdrawal, and transferring directly to a cold wallet—this isn’t retail behavior.

More importantly, the miner capitulation index hit a new low for this year. Translated: miners don’t feel in a hurry to sell their coins just to pay electricity bills. At the bottom of last year’s bear market, the miner capitulation index was frighteningly high. Now it’s the opposite—suggesting miners also think this price level isn’t urgent to dump.

Look at these three things together: whales are buying, new wallets are accumulating, and miners are holding. None of it looks like short-term action. On-chain data doesn’t lie—the money is flowing from exchanges to cold wallets.

I’m not saying you should follow, but on-chain data is far more honest than the candlesticks.

Four days

24,694 ETH

211.5 WBTC

Profit is $3.61 million

This whale has been疯狂 withdrawing coins since July 1—continuously withdrawing ever since. It’s not small-time stuff. It’s steady buying of tens of thousands of dollars per transaction. As of now, the position sitting on the books is nearly $50 million, and it’s still adding

What’s even more bizarre

The hacker from Step Finance also moved

Five months ago, he hacked Step Finance, stole 262,000 SOL, and then went silent. This weekend, suddenly, he sold all the SOL, bridged it to Ethereum, bought 12,128 ETH, and then sent everything into Tornado Cash

262,000 SOL at current prices is roughly $21.5 million. 12,128 ETH is roughly $21.8 million

Look at this move—SOL swapped for ETH. The hacker doesn’t believe in SOL anymore?

But the key point is the ETF data is speaking too. In June, global ETF net inflows were $19.1 billion, the second-highest in history. On July 2, BTC ETFs added another $223 million. Institutions clearly haven’t stopped

Whales are buying, hackers are rotating positions, and ETFs are absorbing

But BTC is just stuck, not going above or below—staying around $64K

This feels like what

Like everyone is packing their bags to go on a long trip, but nobody is saying where they’re going

Last week Saylor just said BTC for the next decade will be driven by capital flows. This week the data started confirming it—ETFs, corporate bonds, sovereign funds. Money is pouring in from all directions. But the price just isn’t rising

In my opinion, this sideways action over the past few days is calm before the storm. Once the FOMC minutes come out on Wednesday, the direction will become clear. Before that, both whales and hackers have already rushed ahead

You should go take a look too

🐋 A signal that appeared twice in crypto history is showing up for the third time.

Over the past 2 weeks, on-chain data shows:

Large holders (whales) have net bought about $16.7 billion worth of Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, U.S. spot ETFs saw net outflows of about $4 billion in June.

One side is seeing heavy outflows while the other is seeing heavy buying—this divergence has happened twice in history:

First: the 2018–2019 bear-market bottom
Second: the 2022 FTX collapse bottom

After both of these, Bitcoin went on to start a new bull cycle.

Whales versus ETFs—who is right?

History is on the side of the whales: whenever retail and institutions flee in panic, and early holders quietly step in as buyers, it often marks a sign of the cycle turning.

Of course, this isn’t a guaranteed rule—just a structural signal worth paying close attention to.

Do you trust the whales’ judgment more, or the ETF fund flows?👇

There’s a bit of tug-of-war on the whales’ side today: some data suggests that over the past two weeks, whales have bought about 270,000 BTC, seemingly picking up chips at lower levels; but exchange inflows have also been amplified at times, indicating that someone is moving coins to exchanges in preparation for volatility. In short, whales aren’t blindly bullish—they’re buying while also managing risk.#鲸鱼 #BTC

On-chain side-signal divergence: CoinDesk reported that over the past two weeks, even amid record ETF outflows, Bitcoin whales still bought about 270,000 BTC; Bitcoin Magazine cited CryptoQuant saying that exchange net inflows in a single day had risen to about 49,000 BTC, implying that volatility risk remains high. My take: whales are accumulating at lower levels while also moving coins into exchanges for risk management; in the short term, don’t just look at the buy amounts—also watch whether exchange inflows keep increasing. #链上数据 #鲸鱼 #BTC

🐳 When everyone is in fear, the whale quietly bought 270,000 BTC over the past two weeks

This figure was just disclosed by CryptoQuant.

Over the past two weeks, large addresses holding more than 1,000 BTC collectively made net purchases of more than 270,000 bitcoins—worth about $16.2 billion.

What happened during the same period?

ETF monthly outflows hit the largest ever on record, BTC fell to a two-year low, the Fear & Greed Index dropped to single digits, and Jeremy Grantham even called BTC “worthless”……

And yet, while all this was happening, the whales were buying.

Historically, large-scale whale accumulation usually occurs in two phases:

First: at the market bottom of the cycle (they were right the first time)
Second: during the “catching the falling knife” phase in the midst of a decline (they were wrong the second time)

Which one is it this time?

No one can say for sure.

But one thing can be confirmed: if these 270,000 BTC ultimately get absorbed by long-term holders, the circulating supply in the market will decrease—this is a structural factor that supports price, regardless of short-term sentiment.

Retail is afraid; whales are accumulating.

How do you plan to use this signal?👇

On-chain Observations: The current BTC price is consolidating around $60,000. The Fear & Greed Index reading is 12, indicating Extreme Fear. Although the price hasn’t continued to plunge, sentiment remains extremely subdued, suggesting that the market’s positioning has entered a phase of “waiting outweighs chasing.” Regarding whale behavior, the key is not individual transfers, but whether exchange net inflows are expanding: if large amounts of BTC keep moving into exchanges, any rebound may be suppressed by sell pressure; if the price holds steady while net inflows decline, it may instead be setting the stage for a repair.#链上数据 #鲸鱼 #BTC
