Whale Deleveraging Signal: 8,550 ETH sold off in large amounts, with unrealized losses of nearly $50,000

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】Monitoring on December 31st showed a change in the ETH holdings of a large holder. A week ago, he accumulated 8,550 ETH at an average cost of $2,991, and now he has started to act.

10 hours ago, this whale transferred 3,000 ETH to a major trading platform, worth approximately $8.93 million. The problem is, at the current price, if this transferred position is fully liquidated, it would result in a loss of $43,000.

Interestingly, another portion of the position built last week still holds 5,550 ETH, with an unrealized loss of $46,000. Overall, this wallet still maintains a massive holding of 22,981 ETH, clearly gradually easing the pressure on its chips.

Hmm, it's the whales selling again. Did everyone who bought at 2991 lose money? That must be so embarrassing.

Sell signal? I think he's just stopping the loss. Losing this little money is just a drop in the bucket for whales.

This guy took the position a week ago, and now he's cutting it, which is a bit hasty.

He's still holding 22,981 coins, indicating he still has expectations for the future market; he's not going to sell everything.

I bet this is his last reduction in position, and there will be a rebound in January.

This price has trapped him; if it were me, I would also be trying to shuffle around...

Haha, even whales get caught in a trap sometimes. Now they can't play anymore.

This guy really caught the bad timing—his orders from a week ago are now floating at a loss, still cutting losses and selling... What does that say? Even big funds can't see through the market.

Just a floating loss of over 90,000 and he's so impatient. If it were me, I would have already chosen to lie flat.

Still willing to take losses and move funds? This whale really can't hold on anymore.

Big fish took a loss? That's a bit hasty. Just a week in and they're already running away, still holding on through the losses...

Still risking so much to dump, truly fearless.

I don't quite understand, this guy lost nearly 100,000 but is still dumping?

---

Whale's move this time must mean something big is about to happen.

---

Wait, started running just a week after building the position? This pace is a bit too fast.

---

Still in loss after transferring to the exchange, should I really clear out or just scare people?

---

Bought at 2991 and still in loss, the market really doesn't make sense.

---

22981 tokens in hand, isn't that enough? Still need to mess around.

---

Is this what you call reducing positions? Feels like being forced out.

---

Dare to move even after falling, really brave.

Another Ponzi scheme trick. The ones who bought in a week ago are panicking now. I've been through it all.

This whale isn't doing well either, starting to cut losses...
