Lately, I've been watching large transactions on the blockchain going back and forth, and the comment section is full of people shouting "whales are buying, get ready." I'm just a small bear watching the market overnight, so I sincerely advise: first, think carefully whether they are building a position or hedging. Many seem like they are adding to their position, but actually they are just entering spot, opening perpetual shorts to lock in, or moving stablecoins across pools for risk control. If you follow in, you'll just become an emotional bagholder. Recently, social mining and fan tokens have been loudly promoting "attention equals mining," but attention is also the easiest to be manipulated... My current approach is a bit clumsy: when I see whale movements, I wait for a candlestick, then check if there's an opposite position. I'd rather miss out than write a review as a self-criticism.
