#数字资产行情上升 Big players also get caught—this whale's stop-loss story
When the market pulls back, the first to fold are often those seemingly stable big players.
Something interesting just happened. In a leading exchange, a heavyweight whale decisively sold off 3,846 BTC long positions. With an unrealized loss of $3.8 million, they simply accepted the loss.
His operation timeline was like this—yesterday, injected 35.5 million USDC, then aggressively increased the position, from $92,096 per BTC up to 3,846 BTC. By 2 a.m. today, the position had expanded to about $350 million.
But that was less than a day ago. The price turned downward, and the whale showed no hesitation—facing typical retail traders' psychological battles, he chose a simple and straightforward option: stop-loss, exit.
The logic behind this is very compelling. It’s not that they don’t believe in $BTC ’s future, but they don’t gamble on human nature during volatility. Large funds, precisely because they are large, are more disciplined. When it’s time to stop, they stop—no psychological games with the market. The same logic applies to $ETH and $SOL .
This kind of cold-blooded decision-making might be more worth learning than technical analysis.
