Recently, a whale transferred 8.09 million USDC to Hyperliquid in a short period and plans to buy 59,458 SOL at a price between $133.88 and $135, totaling approximately $8 million. This indicates that large investors have a positive outlook on SOL, and it is worth monitoring subsequent market movements.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting movement. On January 9th, a whale dumped 8.09 million USDC into Hyperliquid within 4 hours, and after the transfer, placed a limit order. This guy’s goal is very clear—buying 59,458 SOL within the price range of $133.88 to $135, roughly equivalent to $8 million. From this operation, it seems that big investors are quite determined about SOL, either optimistic about the future or finding the current price point to have good value. Anyway, actions of this level of whale usually stir the waters, so traders should keep an eye on the subsequent movements.

Wow, with this momentum, pouring in 8 million USD hard, is SOL about to take off? Major investors are bottoming out here, and we're still hesitating. The gap is huge. The price at $133 is indeed attractive, but the problem is we need that 8.09 million USDC. It's another whale feeding time. Should retail investors run or follow? Feels like something is being laid out. Let's wait and see how they smash it next.

Damn, this move—spending 8 million to buy SOL. Is this guy really confident or just gambling? But speaking of which, this price level is quite interesting; I need to keep an eye on it. Whale's move is really fierce. If they really pour in, can SOL take off? Wait, can this limit order be filled? Feels like the market isn't cooperating. If I had known earlier, I should have stocked up more on SOL. Now I can only watch others eat the profits. With this 9.09 million investment, I just want to know what will happen next. Exciting. Old whale's move is quite profile-worthy. Is he optimistic or just a bagholder? Honestly, this move is a bit aggressive. Is $133 really the bottom?

Damn, 8 million thrown in, is this guy really not afraid of a drop? Sol's current price is quite tempting, but I have a feeling there's a trick. Whales are eating, retail investors are getting sacrificed, it's the old routine. Exchanges with over 200 million in balance haven't been this aggressive... Is this brother really optimistic or does he have too much capital with nowhere to spend?

Damn, they're dumping again. This rhythm feels off. --- Invested 8 million just for this price level? I don't believe it. --- Basically, they’re optimistic about SOL. Don’t pretend to be mysterious. --- This guy has really guts. I’ll just go all in. --- Uh... Is 133 to 135 really cheap? Feels like it could drop further. --- Every time they say they’re stirring the waters, but there’s no real turbulence. --- If this is a tactic, even big players are acting. --- Over 90,000 SOL. This deal is worth doing. --- Standard low-level accumulation, just as I expected. --- Why insist on limit orders? Isn’t it better to just buy directly? --- Now, it’s back to waiting for the follow-up. --- By the way, can this kind of operation really influence the price? I have some doubts.

Wow, 8.09 million USDC directly投入. Is this guy really not afraid of creating a hole? SOL at this price level is indeed quite attractive, but such large transactions usually reveal something. Whales are eating up chips, retail investors are still debating the rise and fall, the gap is indeed big. This rhythm feels a bit familiar, every time such operations are done, it all depends on luck. 59,458 SOL, this move is truly top-tier. As onlookers, we can only watch.

This whale's move is quite significant; spending $8 million just to scoop up SOL at a low point shows that someone definitely has confidence in the future.
