I would say, understanding the role of whale data is actually quite simple—it's like the difference between driving and walking.

The key is whether you can see clearly: where the long data is most concentrated, and at what price level the whales entered. Once you understand these two points, the subsequent market trend is basically predictable.

The real advantage is that even if the market rebounds rapidly, if the data structure hasn't changed, you dare to go short directly. This is the benefit of grasping whale movements—not relying on guesses, but on solid on-chain data. Those who can consistently make money are often those who have thoroughly understood this logic.

It's a good point, but it's easier to talk about than to actually do. Only a few can truly consistently read whale movements accurately. --- The saying "eight or nine out of ten" is a bit absolute; the market often surprises you, and understanding data also requires risk management. --- Mastering on-chain data definitely has advantages, but the prerequisite is being able to distinguish between real whales and fake signals. Often, it's just a feint. --- It's like saying driving is faster than walking, but the premise is that you have a car and know how to drive. Most people can't afford that car. --- Shorting requires courage, but more importantly, discipline in stop-loss. Looking at data alone isn't enough; your mindset also needs to be in check. --- On-chain data speaks volumes, but sometimes market sentiment influences the trend more than data. That's the real challenge. --- Seeing where the longs are concentrated to make money? Then why are so many still losing? It feels like there are still many details missing.

That's right, you just need to understand on-chain data to avoid being cut. The entry price of the whale is crystal clear, and it's much easier to predict the future movements than guessing blindly. As long as the data structure remains unchanged, daring to short is a real advantage. I really dislike those who rely solely on intuition; consistently making money comes from mastering this logic. Driving and walking, the analogy is quite spot on.

honestly, this whale watching stuff is just mempool analysis with extra steps. if you're actually reading the data, the priority fee differential tells you everything you need to know. most people are just looking at sub-optimal indicators and calling it trading.

That's right, on-chain data is the real deal, much more reliable than just talking big. Once you see through the movements of whales, there's really no need to guess blindly. I agree with this logic, but there aren't many people who can actually execute it. The driving versus walking analogy is pretty good; most people are still at the bicycle stage haha. It sounds easy, but in practice, there are quite a few pitfalls. Daring to chase short positions with unchanged data structures requires a lot of mental resilience. Consistently making money truly comes from mastering the fundamentals; there are no shortcuts.

That's what they say, but how many really understand on-chain data? Most are still just gambling. So what if a giant whale enters the market? Retail investors still get cut. It sounds good, but in practice, it's a different story. Daring to chase short positions without changing the data structure? That mindset is quite something. There's some value, but only if you truly understand those data. It sounds convincing, but I still trust my instincts more. This theory sounds great, but I don't know how many people it really helps.

Sounds good, but after looking at data for so many years, I feel that there aren't that many people who truly understand this logic. Shorting also depends on risk exposure. Whale movements are indeed valuable, but many also get caught off guard by counter-operations. On-chain data doesn't lie; the problem is that most people simply can't understand it. The saying "eight or nine out of ten" might be a bit optimistic; there are still many variables in the market. That's why some people make steady profits while others are cutting losses every day. Everyone understands the logic, but execution is the real skill.

That's correct, but to be honest, most people who look at this data are just wasting their time because they have no idea how to use it. Chasing short positions is indeed ruthless, but only if you truly understand on-chain data, not just guessing blindly. Whale movements are so obvious, yet some still get caught in the rebound, it's hilarious. Daring to chase short positions without changing the data structure? That mindset must be really tough; I can't learn that. The key is to stay rooted in the data, don't just listen to stories. Too many people hype things up and still end up losing money. I don't really believe in the saying "eight or nine out of ten," because markets don't follow such predictable patterns. On-chain data is indeed useful, but don't treat it as a万能 key; mindset is probably the biggest enemy. This logic sounds simple, but very few people can actually execute it.

Sounds good, but I've seen too many people just misjudge the whale's position and get liquidated directly [thinking] Chasing short positions like this, there's no 100% data structure; it's all about betting on probabilities. Those who consistently make money are actually just lucky and have strict risk control. On-chain data can indeed be analyzed, but don't be too superstitious; whales can also manipulate the data. --- The theory of whale movements sounds impressive, but truly profitable traders still rely on discipline with stop-losses. --- Yes, mastering the idea of a concentrated long position is fine, but the key is to react faster than the whales. --- Driving or walking? I think most people are actually rushing towards the cliff edge. --- Chasing short positions without changing the data structure sounds tough, but what if a black swan event happens? --- Of those who make over ten thousand a day, nine out of ten end up getting liquidated at some support level. --- Indeed, a data-driven approach without guessing is good, but the problem is, who can really understand all that on-chain data? --- A risk reminder: don't be brainwashed by the idea that "understanding the pattern guarantees profit."

That's right, on-chain data is the true mirror of the market. Those who trade based on feelings should wake up already. --- It's obvious where the whales are entering, and they dare to chase immediately. That’s real confidence. --- The analogy of driving versus walking is excellent. Those who understand data and those who don’t are in completely different leagues when it comes to earning efficiency. --- The key is to learn how to read data; otherwise, getting smashed every day is just deserved. --- I've tested this logic, and it’s pretty accurate most of the time. The only concern is whether I can execute it properly. --- On-chain data is right there; if you don’t understand it, you’ll only get cut. --- The biggest risk in chasing shorts is sudden changes in data structure, so you need to keep an eye on it at all times. --- Those who consistently make money have mastered this part; everything else is just superficial. --- Is there really anyone who can profit steadily just by analyzing whale data? Most people probably just look and learn nothing. --- But to be fair, even the best data is useless without execution. No matter how clear the picture is, it’s pointless if you can’t act.
