#ETH巨鲸扩大持仓 What are the smart money players doing after the market bloodbath?



$BTC Recently dropped below $90,000, hitting a low of 80,600 at one point. $ETH A single-day plummet of 10%, with panic spreading. But interestingly—the more it drops, the more active those large on-chain addresses become.

Retail investors weren’t actually the main culprits behind this drop. US-listed companies and traditional funds were forced to liquidate their digital assets due to stock price pressure and risk controls being triggered. Yet, in the midst of the heaviest selling, there was news that Tether moved $1 billion from its reserves to buy BTC. The timing of whale entries often speaks louder than the candlestick charts.

The divergence during the pullback is worth noting. Ethereum has retraced more than 60% from its high, while certain token ecosystems are showing surprising resilience—their on-chain activity is actually increasing, and there are rumors of major partnerships to be announced next week. This kind of divergence may indicate that funds are being reallocated.

My personal take? This round of the crash has pushed prices to a delicate spot. If you believe the cycle isn’t over yet, averaging in is more sensible than going all in at once. I’ve already started placing grid orders and increased my buying weight at several key support levels. After all, history tells us—when most people are panicking, that’s often when opportunities appear. Of course, whether the bull market continues is still uncertain; this is just my personal hypothesis based on current data.

What do you think? Is this adjustment a deep pit or a trap? All-in at the bottom, or enter in batches?

While the whales are buying up, I'm still selling at a loss. That's hilarious.

When the whales are buying up, I'm still panic selling—it's really something, haha. --- Building a position in batches sounds rational, but I just can't help going all-in every time, and every time I regret it. --- To be honest, this kind of divergent trend is the scariest. You never know who's going to be the bag holder. --- Tether moving $1 billion to buy up the market—how is it always such perfect timing? It just feels a bit mysterious. --- Grid trading sounds great, but it's exhausting. You have to watch it all the time. --- History tells us opportunities appear, but my account tells me what it means to lose everything. --- Big partnership next week? I'll bet five bucks it's another delay. --- I don't know if it's a deep dip or a trap, but either way, I'm already stuck in the trap. --- Buying the dip feels good for a moment, but if you keep buying the dip, you just keep losing. Why does this lesson need to be repeated?

When a Whale makes a move, the retail investors are in for it; I've seen through this trap long ago. What's really interesting is Tether's operation this time; the timing of the 1 billion purchase is just too precise. I bet there will indeed be an official collaboration announcement next week.

Really, when I see the Whale buying up, I know this is not the end. While retail investors are still cutting losses, the smart money has probably already started positioning. I also entered in batches, which is much more stable than going all in.

While whales are buying up, retail investors are still panic selling. The gap between them is really huge.

ngl the "smart money buying the dip" narrative is exactly what the winners *want* you to believe... tether minting 1B to scoop btc at 80k? classic pattern recognition gotcha moment. i've literally seen this movie before, and spoiler alert—the endings aren't always pretty.
