A major ASTER holder just took a painful lesson in market timing. The whale transferred 13.44M ASTER to a leading exchange, locking in a $1.37M loss on this batch alone—buying at $13.04M and now worth only $11.67M. But that's just the tip. Earlier, the same wallet had already blown through a massive $34.54M loss on a 64.53M ASTER round-trip trade. Stack those up and you're looking at a total damage of $35.9M. It's a stark reminder of how quickly momentum can turn in crypto markets. Even with whale-sized positions, mistiming entries and exits can mean devastating losses. The exchange inflow of such volume might also signal capitulation—exactly when retail traders tend to panic sell while whales absorb the bloodbath.

Damn, a single all-in of 35.9 million USD just blew up. This whale is really courageous.

Wait, I need to check the historical transaction records of this address... $35.9M, isn't this a typical case of catching a top and getting stuck?
