On December 31, a whale began to adjust its holdings of 8,550 ETH, selling at $2,991. Ten hours earlier, it deposited 3,000 ETH into an exchange, worth approximately $8.93 million, currently with a loss of $43,000. Although still holding 5,550 ETH, the unrealized loss is even greater, but its wallet still contains 22,981 ETH, reflecting market sentiment.

【Blockchain Rhythms】An interesting phenomenon. On December 31, data monitoring shows that a big fish started moving from a high point a week ago.

Specifically, this whale previously accumulated 8,550 ETH at an average cost of $2,991. Now, it is beginning to adjust its position. 10 hours ago, it transferred 3,000 ETH to a major exchange, equivalent to about $8.93 million. At the current price, selling this batch would result in a loss of $43,000.

The remaining part of the position is still held, with 5,550 ETH, and an unrealized loss of $46,000 on paper. Even so, this whale still holds 22,981 ETH in its wallet, indicating a substantial size. From building the position at a high point to starting to reduce it now, this move somewhat reflects the market’s psychological game.

Losing money and still cutting? This whale is really ruthless. --- With 22,981 coins in hand, this is true chip distribution. --- Wait, this logic is reversed. Building positions at high levels and still losing? Are you sure there's no dump? --- Fundraising schemes operate like this—first dump, then吸筹—classic move. --- High level a week ago? I feel like it's just诱多. --- Selling 8,550 coins in batches, probably testing liquidity, quite a professional move. --- Continuing to reduce positions despite losses indicates they know it's going to fall; smart people run first. --- Whales holding so many chips are starting to run; what are we still waiting for? --- This is what it means to see through it. Building positions at high levels should be done like this—stop-losses are not timid. --- A loss of 43,000 is peanuts to whales, but for us retail investors, stop-losses often mean huge life savings.

Losing money and still reducing positions, this whale is really panicking... Or is this actually the smart person's strategy?

Losing money and still reducing positions, there's a story behind this... It's not really a lack of funds, just adjusting the strategy.

You're running away over such a small amount? This whale's mentality must be collapsing. Holding over 20,000 coins and still caring about a few tens of thousands of dollars—what does that signal indicate?

Still risking 43,000 loss? Is this whale really panicking, or is it testing the bottom support?

Still daring to sell at a loss? How scared must this whale be to cut its losses...

Even though they're losing money, they still hold so much, really not bothered by that small amount... This whale's mentality is super steady.
