Bitcoin whales have been orchestrating a familiar pattern lately—subtle selloffs followed by sharp rebounds. The real story here? Flushing out leveraged traders caught on the wrong side. As liquidations clear the order books, major exchange whales are shifting gears, moving back into accumulation mode. Classic whale behavior: create volatility, trigger cascading liquidations, then reload positions when retail panic sells.

Here we go again with this routine? Every time, it's the same cycle, and retail investors just have to pay tuition fees.

Here we go again with this routine. I've seen through the tricks whales play long ago—it's just an advanced version of cutting leeks.

It's just a cycle. Watching the leeks be shaken out, always so familiar. --- The bottom logic is like this: break down and kill, then slowly accumulate, history repeats itself. --- The true survival rule: your fear is someone else's dinner. --- Wait, will this time be different? No, it never will. --- The essence of innovation, my friend, is that changing the cycle is still the same old routine. --- I see through it but don't say it out loud, but if you still believe there's truth in the ups and downs, then you're too naive. --- Market sentiment is something that repeatedly teaches greedy people lessons. --- What is meditative thinking? It's watching all this happen without moving an inch. --- Survivor bias, maybe. Saying every day that you've dodged it, but next time you'll still fall. --- Value return? Surviving this round first is already good enough.

Coming with this again? I've seen through it long ago. The moment the short positions are liquidated, on-chain data can reveal it, and the whales have already been building their positions.
