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 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...
