Ever notice how your trade gets liquidated right after a big wallet moves funds? That's the whale effect in action. These massive positions can swing markets hard—one huge sell order and suddenly the price tanks, retail traders get caught holding bags. It's not always manipulation, sometimes they're just moving capital, but the impact is real. You tracking wallet movements to anticipate these moves, or just riding the waves?

Honestly, I'm already numb when it comes to this kind of thing. I'm always hit right on time, feeling like the whales have all set my stop-loss orders.

I noticed this pattern a long time ago—whenever the whales move, I get trapped. It happens every single time.

I'm a retail investor who got crushed by a whale's large order and is now questioning life. Every time I see a large transfer, I reflexively want to cut my losses.

Whales moving cause the entire army to be wiped out. They always do it so ruthlessly. How can we avoid it?

Big Fish moves to cut leeks, and we retail investors are always the last to know.
