▬ How to read this: Whale positions are clues, not signals. They have clear directional bets and large positions, but they also add at highs and cut losses at lows. Pay close attention to liquidation prices—that’s where they’re forced out, and often where wick hunts target.

▬ What you’ll get by following me: Every day, I break down these traders’ positions, cost bases, and liquidation prices. No trade calls, no price predictions—just the prices at which someone may be forced to buy or sell.
