Today I saw a bunch of screenshots of "whale addresses entering the market" flying around in the group again. Everyone's hands are faster than their brains; I almost got caught up in the hype too... But honestly, before copying trades, think about this: Are they building a position, or are they hedging/moving positions? If the same address is buying spot and opening a reverse order at the same time, or splitting their chips into different pools, you're just watching the on-chain record, and rushing in might just be them adding liquidity.
Recently, new L1/L2s are offering incentives to pull TVL, and veteran users complain that "mining, selling, and dumping" really isn't without reason. Whales coming in might just be to grab some profit and lock in risk at the same time. The funny part is we're still shouting "They're in, they're in," and getting annoyed because we know it might be a smoke screen, but our hearts still race... For now, I’ll just watch tonight without trading. If I get itchy, I’ll just record an emotional note.
