Whales are causing trouble again, this rhythm is indeed a bit intense... The combination of ETH+LINK feels like a bet on the DeFi wave?

Whales are playing tricks again, this time hitting both LINK and ETH simultaneously. Are they trying to pump the market or dump it?

Whales are acting again. This time, the combo of ETH+LINK doesn't seem like a simple reduction in holdings.

Whale's recent actions seem to be about to dump... --- 9.04 million USD worth of ETH was suddenly dumped, this must be for selling off. --- Link + ETH double approach, are institutions bottom fishing or selling off? I can't understand. --- Wow, such scale, oracles have really become hot commodities. --- 2,810 ETH, I don't own a single coin, lol. --- Isn't this just telling us to run away? So funny. --- Why do big investors have so much money... --- Link being so highly regarded? I never paid attention before. --- Could the market be turning? Whales are starting to move.
