The reasons for whale sells on the weekends: Exploiting thin order books for better execution, arbitrage between exchanges.


Large entities might dump ETH to profit via:
1. Short positions in derivatives—betting on a drop to cash in.
2. Triggering liquidations in over-leveraged longs, causing a cascade, then buying back cheaper.
3. Arbitrage: Sell high on one exchange, buy low elsewhere.
4. Market making: Provide liquidity during volatility for fees.
Motive often ties to amplifying moves in thin markets for quick gains, but it's risky and regulated.
Do you still think the crypto market is fine without any regulations?
