This is how Whales manipulates you🧵
It was 2nd March 2025 > We've got a headline
A whale just opened a $200Million+ 50X leverage long position on ETH and BTC
Same day we've got the crypto reserve announcement > This way people started to believe that it was a insider trading
But here's the catch > That day the whale just closed it's position before Trump ETH & BTC reserve announcement
Means he missed BIG Moves > Probably Millions $$ as well.
Fast Forward ⏩⏩ In last 24 hours we're seeing same type of headline
A Whale 🐋 just opened $332 Million shorts on Bitcoin 🔻📉
The whole twitter started to share this news > Common person started panicking without understanding the 2nd side of the story
Here's what 2nd side of the story means :
▪️1st Point
$332 Million is misleading because the margin is only $8.32 Million but 40x leverage = $332 Million
This way the whole perspective got changed > here's how 👇 Read the headline again
A Whale 🐋 just opened $8.32 Million shorts on Bitcoin 🔻📉
This headline is less eye catching and people might ignore by thinking oooo it's only $8.32 Million Trade
▪️2nd Point
There might be a possibility that he has already hedged the same position on a different platform or CEX
Means either way he's not gonna lose money but you'll.
▪️3rd Point
If you think that with your $69 in your wallet > you've tracked an insider wallet and that person with millions of dollars in theirs doesn't know their movements can be tracked on-chain
then you're delulu 😅
Conclusion >
0n-Chain data is very important part but you can't rely on just single set of data and act upon it.
Real On-Chain analysis combines multiple data sets for possible action.
If you're tracking for trading the focus on longer time frame PNL > Winning Percentage > Trading Frequency
