🐋 $ETH whale: a game in two steps
On-chain data shows: a big player bought 3,650 ETH (~$10.35 million) in spot and simultaneously opened an ETH short with 20× leverage.
📌 This is not a chaotic action. This is a plan.
🧠 The logic is simple: The whale is laying out a scenario for a short-term decrease to:
accumulate liquidity
trigger stops
exploit market panic
ETHUSDT
Perp
2,952.16
+3.32%
📉 Short → profit from the downward movement
📈 Spot → position on price recovery after manipulation
⚠️ Important point
Whales do not “guess” the direction.
They build positions to profit at both stages of movement.
🔁 Often it looks like this:
first pain for the majority → then the real movement.
Volatility is a tool.
Risk is trading without a plan.
