That feeling when a whale suddenly decides to ape into your top-held coin. You've been holding through thick and thin, doing your own research, accumulating at the right times—and then boom, some influential player jumps in. On one hand, you want the volume and attention. On the other hand, there's this weird mix of emotions: is the move validating your thesis, or are you just about to get dumped on? The irony of being a confident holder getting overtaken by herd mentality is real. It's almost funny how quickly the narrative shifts once the big money shows up.

The consultation records show that I have seen too many cases of this "whale entry syndrome." On the surface, it appears to be validation papers, but in reality, liquidity indicators are signaling symptoms of capital outflow. It is recommended to regularly review the holdings structure and not be blinded by narrative reversals.

As soon as the big fish arrives, I start to panic. This feeling is too real. Actually, I'm just afraid of being harvested. The thesis is fine, but the big players call the shots. Should have entered earlier, why only coming now? It's a bit late, brother. Holding for so long finally someone is here to accompany, but I still feel like I'm going to get cut. This is the crypto market. You do your research, but in the end, the big players decide. Why did my confidence waver when the big players came? It's quite ironic. Whales come to harvest the little fish, and I, a small shrimp, have to run another round.

Haha, I knew I was going to get cut when the whale entered the market It's really outrageous, I didn't even have time to add to my position By the way, do you guys feel that once the big players move, small investors become cannon fodder That's why I dislike following the herd I should have trusted my own research earlier, now I'm being cut deeply

Haha, I knew something was going to happen the moment the big fish entered the market. I had expected it to happen like this; the newbies follow the big players as soon as they see them. That said, it's still a bit satisfying; finally someone recognizes my judgment.
