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
