A well-known whale wallet's recent activity has attracted attention. The address made two large-scale Ethereum reductions in the past week: last week, it sold 4,933 ETH at an average price of about $3,105, and just 7 hours ago, it sold 4,900 ETH at an average price of about $2,800.

Looking at the trading rhythm, this whale clearly knows what it is doing—taking profits in stages at high levels. The selling continued from over $3,100 down to $2,800, indicating a clear intention to lock in gains. This operational logic signals that large holders are cautious about short-term market trends and are not planning to chase higher prices anymore.

Such on-chain activity is often worth monitoring, as institutional-level position changes can typically create ripple effects on market sentiment.

This move is indeed interesting. Let's look at the data—dropping from 3105 to 2800 and still continuing to sell off. Clearly, this guy has taken "take profit without stop loss" to a new level. As for whale sell-offs, the theory is that it reflects this logic: if there's inventory at high levels, sell in batches regardless of whether the price drops later. Technically, this is the optimal risk management strategy, but from an engineering perspective, the more big players do this, the more it indicates they are uncertain. Here's a detail worth scrutinizing—selling from 3100 to 2800 within 7 hours suggests either mechanical take profit settings or genuine lack of confidence in the market's future. Which is more likely? Considering the overall market rhythm, I lean towards the latter. On-chain signals can indeed ripple through market sentiment, but one point needs clarification: a single whale's actions do not represent the entire market's attitude. This is just one data point and requires further validation.

The big whale's move this time is truly brilliant. They are just gradually running away at high levels, while we're still bottom-fishing haha. From 3100 to 2800, they are still疯狂甩盘 (crazy dumping). I can't keep up with this rhythm. Institutions are scared, and we retail investors are even more panicked. As I watch, I start to doubt—should we hold or should we run when such signals appear? Honestly, the big players'操作节奏 (operation rhythm) has broken my confidence. This whale is too cunning; by selling in batches, they just won't let us see the way out.
