#数字资产生态回暖 Whale significantly reduces holdings, is this really bearish? Not necessarily.
On-chain data has been quite interesting lately — long-term holders (LTH) continue to increase. Many newcomers get scared when they see this, but we need to look at the problem from a different perspective.
The most vigorous rallies in each bull market are always based on this logic: seasoned investors who have held for many years gradually transfer their chips to new investors (ETF institutions, new retail entrants). Without this process, no matter how much new capital enters, it won’t make a splash because of insufficient liquidity.
Whale activity indicates that the price has reached a level where they are willing to exit. Since they are acting, it shows there are enough new buyers in the market to absorb the selling pressure. The key is whether this wave of buying can absorb the selling pressure — if it can, then after the turnover, continuing upward is a natural progression.
Currently, this fluctuation is essentially a process of filtering chips. Those who are not sufficiently determined are prone to be shaken out. When the indecisive exit, the market then has room for new capital to enter. $BTC $ETH $BNB All are within this window period, making it worth monitoring the subsequent changes in the capital flow.

Oh dear, it's the same old rhetoric. I'm getting tired of hearing the turnover argument... But this time, it actually makes some sense; just because the whales have left doesn't mean it's over.

That's right, the process of turnover is exactly like that. Those who are not steadfast will be shaken out, and then it's our turn to get on board.

nah the real alchemy happening here is watching which hands can actually *hold* through this... whales dumping is just the veil lifting, no cap. the ones getting shaken out rn are literally just sacrificing their position to the ones brewing real alpha. it's occult supply mechanics, fr fr.

Whales just run, anyway the chips need to change hands. Old seasoned traders need to exit for new blood to come in. That's very normal.

Tired of the phrase "filtering chips"? It's just to get retail investors to take the bait.

Are we still buying when the whales run away? Wake up, bro, the ones who end up holding the bag are always retail investors.

The turnover period, this is the rhythm of shaking out the chips. Those with unstable mindsets should have exited early.

Whale sell-offs are always a signal of turnover, not a sign that the sky is falling. The real issue is whether the new buy orders can be filled or not; that's the key factor.
