A major whale has been using a cyclic leverage lending strategy to go long on Ethereum, but recently has been gradually closing positions. The latest data shows that this address has just sold another 5,000 ETH, converting it into $14.7 million USDC.

This selling action is part of a 12-day position reduction plan. From holding 50,000 ETH, the address has now reduced to just 10,000 ETH, cashing out 40,605 ETH with an average transaction price of $2,917. Roughly calculating, the entire reduction cycle has yielded a profit of $15.1 million.

What does this transaction reflect? The once aggressive long strategy is now adjusting. From large leverage increases to incremental position reductions for profit-taking, the shift in market sentiment often reveals itself in these whale actions. Monitoring such large addresses may help us detect market turning points earlier.

Whales are running, time to be cautious Everyone is cashing out, and those still chasing the rally really need to think From 50,000 directly to 10,000, such a move... the exit signal is too obvious Major holders are reducing their positions, retail investors are still asking when to buy in haha 15.1 million profit just jumped away like a kangaroo, the fate of leveraged longs This move made me a bit nervous Whales reducing their positions so decisively, does that mean they have no idea what's going on?

Whales are starting to run, and we're still sleepwalking here. Reducing positions by big players is the real signal, more accurate than anything else. 15.1 million USD profit... I'm envious. From fifty thousand to ten thousand, this pace is incredible. Brothers still leveraging, it's time to wake up. The market's biggest fear is that smart money will run first. A wave of closing positions is coming, everyone be careful. This time is truly different, whales are all cashing out. Wait, the average price at 2917... what is it now? Big players are all running, and you're still chasing the high?

Big whale is really ruthless, runs just like that, got 15.1 million USD --- Is this a sign of a downturn? I'm still holding on stubbornly --- Haha, look at this average price of 2917, I bought at a high level --- This whale's move looks like testing the bottom, could there be another wave --- Got cut again, this is the gap between retail investors and big players --- Wait, from 50,000 down to 10,000, is this a dump or a position adjustment --- Why does it feel like big players are better at reading the market than us? I need to learn their leverage strategies

Whale has run away, and we're still sleepwalking No, no, no, this guy already took his profits long ago, and we're still dreaming of soaring to the sky Speaking of which, 15 million dollars just like that, how comfortable must life be It's time to watch the show, now let's see who will step in to take over This move is really slick, retreating completely in 12 days, us ordinary folks can only look on with envy Run fast, it feels like a change is coming

Whales have run away, and we, the bunch of leeks, are still sleepwalking. I was wondering why it felt like the top, turns out the big players already ran off. 15.1 million profit... I’ve lost my underwear in the process. This guy is really ruthless, cutting from 50,000 to 10,000 coins, just like that, no hesitation. Wait, he still has 10,000 coins unsold? Is this a trap to lure more in? Sold an average of 2917 coins, and at this price... damn. This is the real story of the "high-position bagholder" being cultivated, in the opposite direction.

Another whale is fleeing, and we're still picking up the bag Large investors reducing their positions is a signal. This time, they cashed out a profit of 15.1 million... Why does it always feel like we're the ones catching the last fall Dropping from 50,000 coins to 10,000 coins, I can't learn this kind of move Stay alert everyone, when the whales leave, the market also quickly follows It's both reducing positions and increasing leverage. I've seen many retail investors lose everything in this rhythm Relying on leverage to make a living will eventually lead to a crash, but they've already taken their profits Why does it always feel like whales are always one step ahead of us...

ngl, the memetic velocity on this whale liquidation is fascinating... classic pre-correction sentiment cascade. watching $15.1M in realized gains hit the books while retail still chasing hopium. alpha's always in the exits, not the entries fr

Whales are moving, this market trend is about to change --- It's the same pattern again, when big players act, the entire market crashes --- 15 million USD profit, this is our gap --- Wait, he's closing his position and we're still taking the bait? --- At this pace, someone has to step in later --- Watching whale movements is much more reliable than looking at the K-line --- Leverage long positions are taking profits, what's the next step? --- The closing wave is coming, everyone be careful
