Brothers! Just out, a heavy piece of news— the whale that precisely bottomed out WBTC two years ago is moving again! Adding 99.9 WBTC, which, at the current price of $87,000 each, amounts to nearly $8.7 million in real cash coming in! Is someone already unable to hold back and wants to go all in, thinking that following the whale guarantees a win?
Let me be straightforward: this operation contains traps that can make you instantly liquidate! As someone who has been in the crypto space for 8 years, successfully avoiding the 19 billion liquidation disaster of November 2025 and having issued early warnings about the ground-level cuts of FIL and DOT, I will say this today—if you want to survive this market wave, you must avoid these 3 pitfalls at all costs!
The first pit: blindly chasing highs, treating whale accumulation as a 'mindless bottom-buying signal'! Have you forgotten the core strategy of whales? They are experts in 'staged accumulation + wave harvesting'! The cost of accumulating at the low point two years ago was as low as $20,000-$30,000 per coin. Now, additional accumulation only dilutes the cost, and even if it drops 30% later, they still profit. But if you chase in now, your cost is several times higher than the whales. Once the market corrects, you will be the first to get liquidated, while the whales can turn around and take your bloodied chips. This is the core logic behind the 460,000 retail investors being harvested!
The second pit: ignoring the macro environment, thinking a single whale can reverse the bear market! What will the market be like in 2025? Global funds are frantically fleeing from crypto assets, pouring into valuable anchors like gold and silver. Bitcoin has dropped 6% this year, mainstream altcoins have halved, and cryptocurrency has become the 'worst asset in the world'! The expectation of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates has cooled, regulations are tightening, and the liquidity in the entire market is drying up. The accumulation by a single whale cannot stir up a big wave; at most, it can only create a small short-term rebound, just to trick you into entering and taking the bait!
The third pit: high leverage betting on the market! Don't think that the accumulation by whales guarantees stability; they are best at using retail investors' FOMO emotions to set traps—first using small funds to create a false impression, then when you follow in with 20x or 50x leverage, they suddenly crash the market to trigger forced liquidations, completing a 'double kill' of long and short positions. That day in December when Bitcoin dropped 8% in a single day, with 270,000 people liquidated for nearly $1 billion, isn't that what happened?
Now let's talk about my judgment on future trends, the view is extremely clear, not ambiguous: in the short term, there will be an emotional small rebound in 1-3 days, but it is absolutely not the start of a bull market! The rebound height is limited, and it is very likely to fall back before reaching $90,000, or it may even directly start a new round of decline!
The reason is simple: first, the accumulation by whales does not represent long-term holding. Historically, they have often transferred coins to exchanges for cashing out shortly after accumulating. This time, the quantity of 99.9 coins is likely a combination of 'tentative accumulation + short-term arbitrage'; second, what the current market lacks is incremental funds, not the small actions of a single whale. Without funding support, any rebound is just a 'house of cards'; third, regulatory pressure is still ongoing, and the world is tightening crypto trading. If this major trend does not change, the crypto market cannot hope to really warm up!
Finally, let me remind my fans: if you want to survive, don't chase highs, don't leverage, and keep your position within 5% of your total funds! If you really want to participate, wait for the rebound to above $89,000 and then decisively reduce your position, keeping the risk within what you can bear. Do you remember my reminder two years ago for everyone to follow the whale's low point for accumulation? Fans who listened back then have at least made a 2x profit; before the liquidation wave in November, I advised everyone to clear their leverage, helping many avoid disaster. Follow me @链上标哥 and don't get lost!
