Each item includes a reason, market evidence, risk classification, a suggested allocation percentage from the portfolio, and a reasonable expected return (medium-term model: 1–3 months). All estimates are analytical and do not constitute direct investment advice — reduce the size according to your strategy.

Quick reference points (main sources)
Bitcoin whales are still buying on dips and creating a support floor at the lows.
Ethereum whales have recently accumulated in the range of 2,950–3,050 with a return of flows in Ethereum-related funds.
Cardano whales have executed strong accumulation recently (millions of ADA in a few days).
Solana is witnessing on-chain activity and large transfers that triggered whale movements and price fluctuations.
Avalanche has seen activity and a rebound supported by a significant increase in active addresses and whale movements.

The list — Relatively lower-risk projects (8 items)
1) Bitcoin (BTC)
Why: Largest market with high liquidity; large and medium whales accumulate during dips, providing relative support.
Whale Guide: Accumulation from holders of 100–1,000 BTC and return of large wallets.
Risk: Low-Medium (large market but subject to sharp corrections).
Proposed Allocation: 30–40% of the risk portion allocated to crypto (or 10–25% of the entire portfolio depending on your tolerance).
Expected Average Return (1–3 months): +3% to +12% in a recovery/bull wave scenario; or -8% to -20% in a strong corrective scenario.
2) Ethereum (ETH)
Why: Infrastructure for DeFi, staking, and institutional yields; whales accumulate around technical support levels.
Risk: Low-Medium.
Proposed Allocation: 20–30% of the lower risk crypto portfolio.
Expected Average Return: +5% to +18% possible during a weak correction, or -10% to -25% in a broad downturn.
3) Binance Coin (BNB)
Why: The largest exchange token; liquidity within the Binance ecosystem and a history of relative stability.
Risk: Medium (affected by some exchange decisions and regulations).
Proposed Allocation: 5–12%.
Expected Average Return: +4% to +15% possible with platform momentum, or -12% under regulatory/liquidity pressure.
4) Cardano (ADA)
Why: Clear whale accumulation recently, PoS network with events and seminars may support momentum.
Risk: Medium.
Proposed Allocation: 3–8% (being less liquid than BTC/ETH but with growth potential).
Expected Average Return: +10% to +40% in case of a market sentiment shift or positive events, or -20% if momentum fails.
5) Solana (SOL)
Why: Strong chain activity, large whale transfers affect prices; high volatility = opportunity for those who know how to deal.
Risk: Medium-High.
Proposed Allocation: 2–6% (disciplined speculation).
Expected Average Return: +8% to +35% in a bull wave, or -25%+ during a technical correction or liquidity unwind.
6) Avalanche (AVAX)
Why: Weaponized movement and increased address activity, signals of whale entry with technical events (zkp) and bursts of activity.
Risk: Medium.
Proposed Allocation: 2–6%.
Expected Average Return: +10% to +40% if momentum continues, or -20% if the atmosphere changes.
7) Polkadot (DOT)
Why: Infrastructure for chain interoperability, whale movements are sporadic but show accumulation at times. Considered an important structural project.
Risk: Medium.
Proposed Allocation: 2–5%.
Expected Average Return: +8% to +30% with roadmap execution, or -15% during liquidity weakness.
8) Chainlink (LINK) — or leading Oracle projects
Why: Strong adoption in DeFi and real demand for off-chain data; whales occasionally intervene.
Risk: Medium.
Proposed Allocation: 1–5%.
Expected Average Return: +6% to +25% or a loss of -12% in a broad downturn scenario.

Risk management rules (must consider)
1. Risk limit per trade ≤ 2–3% of your capital.
2. Diversification: Do not stack more than 40–50% of your entire portfolio in high-risk assets.
3. Gradual entry (DCA) upon noticing whale accumulation — buy in batches instead of a single buy.
4. Monitor exchange flows: whale transfers to exchanges → likelihood of selling; outflows from exchanges → likelihood of holding.
5. Use smart stop-loss orders and position size proportional to the asset's volatility.

Monitoring tools I recommend using
Whale-trackers (e.g., Whale Alert, on-chain analytics monitors) to follow actual transfers.
Monitor ETF flows and Open Interest for derivatives.
On-chain activity pages (Etherscan, Solscan, Avalanche explorer) to review large wallet movements.

Quick Summary
If you are looking for lower-risk investments within crypto: start with BTC and ETH as a base, then allocate small percentages to BNB, ADA, SOL, AVAX, DOT, LINK according to your tolerance. The sources I monitored show accumulation by whales in several instances, providing opportunities to enter during dips.
