Over the past two days, I’ve seen a bunch of people staring at whale addresses and trying to copy trades. Honestly, I’m a bit tired… A large transfer or opening a position doesn’t necessarily mean, “they’re about to pump.” A lot of the time, they’re hedging, moving positions, and sometimes even hitting both sides at the same time. We only see one on-chain action and then start filling in the story ourselves, which makes it easy to get carried away by emotions. Especially now, everyone ties together ETF capital flows, U.S. stock risk appetite, and the ups and downs in the crypto market and interprets them as if they’re hard-linked—today, just one hint and the whole internet changes its tune. It’s pretty noisy.

Anyway, this is still the same for me: I’ll wait until the emotions have burned out, confirm whether it’s a slow, steady build or a temporary defensive move, and then consider following. Otherwise, what you end up following might just be someone else’s protective umbrella. Slowing down is fine too—at least it’s less exhausting for my nerves.
