There is an interesting on-chain movement worth paying attention to. A large SAHARA holder who has been inactive for half a year has recently taken new action—transferring 150 million SAHARA tokens to an exchange.
Based on the data, the current value of this batch is approximately $4.2 million. Sounds good? But the story behind it is much more complicated.
By digging into this user's historical holdings, the problem becomes apparent. When they initially built their position, the average cost was as high as $12.18 million. Now, transferring out at a low price means an unrealized loss of nearly $7.97 million. After holding for a full six months, they ultimately chose to cut their position at a loss.
This case quite well illustrates the issue: during a market downtrend, even players holding large amounts of tokens find it difficult to maintain psychological resilience in the face of long-term losses. After six months of silence, suddenly taking action usually reflects a reassessment of the market outlook—sometimes it's to cut losses, other times it might be to buy at a lower price. This transfer to the exchange is most likely the former.
For ordinary investors, such whale movements may not directly guide trading decisions, but they can provide a reference for market sentiment. Especially in the volatile cycles of the crypto market, changes in large holders' positions often reveal some genuine market insights.

Holding on for almost a year, but I still have to admit defeat. This mentality is collapsing... If it were me, I couldn't hold on either.

Huh? Even this whale can't hold on anymore, with nearly 8 million in losses, they immediately cut their position. Truly impressive.

Uh... losing 8 million dollars can be tolerated for half a year, I'm truly convinced.

Oh my, this 8 million loss, enduring for half a year, I still can't hold on anymore.
Damn, how desperate must that be, truly reflecting how grim the market is.
Big investors are cutting losses, retail investors are still dreaming, just laughing.
Another story of being trapped, nothing new.
That's why I keep saying don't go all in, look at how it is now.
