Whale lurks for half a year before making a move: 150 million SAHARA added to the exchange, with an unrealized loss of nearly $8 million

A certain whale address, after being dormant for half a year, injected 150 million SAHARA tokens into an exchange on January 5th, worth $4.2 million. Although the cost was $12.18 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of $7.97 million, the reflow or appearance of this activity may indicate its stance on the price, possibly as a stop-loss or phased exit, becoming a market signal of interest.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Another big player is moving. On January 5th, a whale address that had been dormant for half a year suddenly woke up and transferred 150 million SAHARA tokens to a major exchange. The current value of this asset is $4.2 million.

But the story behind it is a bit heartbreaking. The entry cost for this address back then was approximately $12.18 million. Now, at the time of returning to the exchange, the price implies an unrealized loss of $7.97 million. After six months of silence, choosing to flow back in—this can often reflect the holder’s attitude towards the current price—perhaps stop-loss or phased exit. Such large-scale inflows often become market signal points.

Oh no, 8 million dollars just disappeared like that, I really can't hold it anymore --- Half a year of holding back, it's time to cut losses --- Whales are starting to cut losses, retail investors are still sleepwalking --- This move looks painful, with such a large unrealized loss, yet they still dare to act --- Another big holder caught in a trap, the market is really damn brutal --- Wait, is this bottom-fishing or really running away --- 8 million dollars down the drain, oh my god, who can bear this --- Silent for half a year just to cut losses? That's something --- Every move of the whales is a signal, this time it's a bit scary

Losing 8 million and still daring to flip, this mentality is really strong --- Held back for half a year without action, and as soon as I made a move, it was a stop-loss situation. So tragic --- Even whales can't bear it. This price really can't be pushed up --- 120 million came in, now only 4.2 million left. If I were this guy, I would have already broken down --- It's typical to hold on and then can't take it anymore. When it's time to bottom fish, no one has the guts --- Big players are all fleeing. This signal is a bit ominous --- Selling 150 million tokens. Is this clearing out or testing the support level... --- Losing so much and still daring to move, it shows he thinks it can still continue to fall

I just want to ask one question: will whales really choose to cut their losses at this point? --- 8 million USD loss... how desperate must one be to press the sell button on their coins? --- Haven't moved in half a year, now making a move—what kind of trend are they sensing? --- Can this broken support sell-off really stop the bleeding? It seems more like a signal of accelerating decline. --- Something's off. Why did it suddenly appear after half a year? Is there pressure from above? --- Watching unrealized losses keep increasing while holding back for half a year—such mental resilience is incredible. --- Rather than calling it a signal, it's more like despair. I really don't want to look at this coin anymore.

This whale must be really bold, risking a floating loss of 8 million and still daring to flow back... I think they really can't hold on anymore. Losing this much and still willing to sell, it’s probably going to rain next. Half a year of silence and then making such a big move, there's nothing more to say. It looks like SAHARA is done for... the bandwagon followers are going to get chopped again. Losing so much and still continuing, I really admire... might as well hold and wait.

Oh my, another massive loss and dump? 8 million USD just gone... --- Waiting half a year before taking action, it probably means they've already given up. --- This whale is really tough, losing 8 million and still staying calm for half a year. I couldn't sleep early on. --- 1200 million invested, now only 4.2 million left... Is this the true picture of SAHARA? --- Stop loss or cut losses? Anyway, it's all bloodshed. --- It seems even the big holders can't hold on anymore. Will it drop further? --- Seeing this kind of signal once or twice is enough. Retail investors like us have long been used to being harvested. --- 797 million USD, I’ll never earn that in my lifetime... --- Why does it feel like the big players are all bottom-fishing lately? Or are they trying to escape the top? I just can't figure it out. --- Enduring for half a year just to be willing to give up. The mental state has collapsed.

8 million dollars in losses... This whale is really patient. Not making a sound for 6 months just to cut losses at this moment.

Damn, another big player who has been numb to being trapped, losing 8 million USD just like that, truly incredible. After half a year of silence, they suddenly dumped, this is what they call a "signal," haha. What’s going on with SAHARA? Why did it crash so badly? Looking at this pace, are there more big players going to cut their losses next? Suddenly making a move after half a year of silence, I bet 5 bucks he’s completely given up. 800K USD unrealized loss, brother, how tough must your heart be to calmly dump like that? I always feel that this kind of new coin is like this, chasing high always ends up in a trap.
