#ETH巨鲸增持 ETH whales have increased their holdings again, what does this indicate?
#加密市场回调 Recent on-chain data has shown that several large holders (commonly known as whales) have started significantly increasing their ETH holdings. Many friends, upon hearing about 'whale actions,' wonder if it means a price surge is coming? In fact, let's discuss what this really means in a more down-to-earth way.

Why are whales increasing their holdings?
Whales' money does not come from the wind; they generally have reasons for their purchases:
1) Focus on long-term value
ETH is not just 'a coin' anymore; it is the ticket to the entire Ethereum ecosystem. DeFi, NFT, and Layer 2 all rely on it. Whales increasing their holdings is mostly a sign that they believe ETH's position will remain strong in the coming years.
2) It’s easier to pick up bargains when the market is cold.
What whales love to do is to slowly accumulate when others panic and prices correct. The quieter it gets, the easier it is for them to buy at comfortable positions.
3) The effects of ETH halving and the burning mechanism are more pronounced.
Ethereum is currently in a deflationary model (when the amount burned exceeds the new issuance). In the long run, the scarcer it is, the more valuable it becomes. Whales are more sensitive to such structural factors than ordinary people.
Does whale accumulation mean an immediate rise?
Does not equal! But it is a strong signal for the medium to long term.
Whale purchases can only indicate:
They believe this price is worth positioning.
Risk-reward ratio is appropriate.
Long-term, they are more optimistic about the probability of a rise.
Whether it rises in the short term depends on various factors such as market sentiment, macroeconomics, and the trend of Bitcoin.
In short: whale buying is a 'direction', not a 'button' for immediate price increases.
3. What should ordinary people do?
It's not about following them to go all in, but rather using the whales' mindset to make judgments.
Use a strategy of 'small positions and long-term dollar-cost averaging'.
Whales buy in 'batches', and so should ordinary people; slowly buying small amounts is much safer than chasing highs and cutting losses.
Focus on direction, not emotions.
Whales never trade based on emotions; they observe trends, structures, and the long term.
Don't be scared away by short-term fluctuations.
Whale accumulation indicates that they pay more attention to the market over six months to a few years, rather than whether it rises today.
The behavior of whales is never a 'coincidence'.
Their accumulation represents smart money flowing back into ETH.
You don't need to be as wealthy as whales, but you can learn their rhythm: look at the big picture, hold steady, and not get scared off by short-term movements.
