Lately, I've seen a bunch of people watching whale addresses and trying to copy trades. Honestly, let's calm down first: is that whale building a position or hedging? Don’t assume that a big buy means they’re trying to pump the price; sometimes it’s just spot holdings increasing, and they casually open a short to lock in volatility. If you follow along, you’re just taking on their risk, which is pretty unfair. Right now, people are still arguing about rate cut expectations, whether the US dollar index and risk assets move together or inversely. Macro is tangled, and whales prefer to hedge themselves by positioning as “not losing no matter which way the market goes.” I have one simple trick: check if there are opposite positions at the same time, or if they’re frequently adjusting margin or switching to stablecoins. If you don’t understand, don’t pretend to; I’d rather pay fewer fees and learn less the hard way. Copy trading is like chasing a bus or betting on a game—if you run too fast, you might catch it; if you’re too slow, you’ll fall. Anyway, I’m going to hang out in L2 for now, gas is cheap, and I feel better.
