How Traders Try to Profit by Following Mega Crypto Whales
-

One way active traders look for opportunities is by tracking moves from ultra-large crypto whales. A recent example is an $11 billion Bitcoin whale that correctly anticipated a major market crash earlier this year and is now betting on a rebound. After selling hundreds of millions in Ether, the whale opened large leveraged long positions on Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana.
For traders, the takeaway isn’t to blindly copy leverage, but to watch sentiment shifts. When a historically accurate whale rotates back into long positions, it can signal expectations of a short-term rally worth trading with tighter risk controls.
