Recently looking at a bunch of "Smart Money Address Profiles" makes me want to laugh but I can't... Labels, clustering, these things, honestly, can only serve as filters: what you're seeing is the shadow of capital flow, not people's minds. An address labeled as whale/institution/shilling bot might just be the same group of people splitting across a dozen accounts to trade against each other, or it could simply be custodial or market-making wallets mixed together; no matter how you draw it, you can always find a "pattern."

Especially now with testnet incentives and token expectation setups, everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens. Suddenly, on-chain, there are a bunch of "active addresses" looking lively, but in reality, many are scripts rolling KPI... If you use this kind of data to infer "funds are being strategically laid out," I can only say: that's pretty brave.

My own approach is more down-to-earth: first check if the flow can form a closed loop, if there's long-term accumulation, then match it with timelines (announcements, votes, unlocks) to gauge sentiment; otherwise, it's too easy to be led by profiles. Never mind, I won't talk about this anymore. Tonight, I have a governance meeting and a post-meeting drinks session to catch up on, will review everything after the noise dies down.
