An old BTC whale that hasn't made a move in eight years has suddenly reappeared, and this time the action is significant—transferring over 10 million USD directly from Hyperliquid to a certain top exchange wallet, and conveniently clearing the ETH short order, locking in profits.

This "invisible player" is not simple. The previous operation was even more ruthless: a $500 million short order attack, ultimately netting nearly $100 million in profit. Even more uncanny is that his timing for entering and exiting positions always hits the rhythm perfectly, often aligning with certain policy trends.

When large amounts of funds are transferred, the market immediately tightens its nerves. What does moving to the exchange mean? It might be preparing to build a position, or it could be to dump. What about closing ETH short orders? Perhaps they think the drop has reached its limit. But these are all surface appearances. What is truly worth pondering is that these big players never engage in unprepared battles; they are like weather stations, always able to sense changes in the wind direction ahead of time.

How can retail investors break the deadlock?

First of all, stop just staring at those calls on social media. On-chain data is the real currency; the movements of addresses at this level are the best reference.

Secondly, learn from their sense of rhythm. After eight years of silence, they hit the mark precisely with one move, which shows that investing is never about relying on luck for a gamble. You need your own battle plan: test with small positions, set stop-loss lines in advance, and don't harbor any illusions.

Finally, the policy front cannot be interrupted. If there is a slight disturbance in the United States, these Whales will position themselves in advance. The current crypto market is already tied to the macro trends. If you only focus on guessing based on candlestick charts, it is basically equivalent to driving with your eyes closed.

When the market crashes, panic is often more terrifying than the risk itself. The main strategies for harvesting by the big players are actually just a few tricks; the key is whether you can see through their script. Be greedy when others are fearful, and be calm when others are greedy — this is easy to say, but it all depends on awareness and discipline.
