Lately, I've been watching whale addresses until my eyes are sore... But honestly, before copying trades, you really need to think clearly: Are they gradually building a position, or are they opening opposite positions elsewhere to use you as liquidity for hedging? Especially now, with many people rushing to test network incentives, earning points, and daily guessing "Will the mainnet issue tokens," whales casually throw some chips to set the rhythm, making it easy for newbies to get caught up.

When I was a beginner, I thought: whale buying = pump the price, I just follow along.
Now I believe more: first, see if they are buying in batches, if they are flipping back and forth, and whether their on-chain actions look like risk control... I treat my own position like garden pruning—prefer to slow down and trim a little at a time rather than touch those black-box yields I don't understand.
