Many people must have experienced being bombarded with messages from fans in the early morning. At three o'clock yesterday, someone frantically shouted, "A certain mainstream asset suddenly plummeted by 3 points, is it going to crash?" I pulled up on-chain data and couldn't help but laugh—this was not a crash at all, it was clearly Large Investors in the circle "moving house".

After years of immersion in the crypto market, my deepest insight is that the actions of whales often reflect the market direction in advance. To be honest, by tracking the movements of Large Investors, I have successfully avoided many significant corrections. The key is that the scale of the crypto space is much smaller than that of traditional financial markets, and some whales' holdings can account for more than 5% of the circulation of certain cryptocurrencies—imagine a buyer with hundreds of millions in cash suddenly rushing into a small vegetable market; can the vegetable prices remain stable?

In the early years, I suffered a loss from this, heavily investing in a certain coin only to be offloaded by Large Investors in bulk, and I stood guard for three months before I was freed. After that, the first thing I did every day was to check the on-chain ledger.

Today I want to share three whale tracking methods that ordinary people can also use. The reliability tested is very high, and the combined effect is more than ten times that of using them individually:

**The first tool: the blockchain explorer corresponding to the ecosystem**. For example, the most commonly used explorer in the Ethereum ecosystem is essentially the "public ledger" of the crypto world. As long as you have the public address of a Large Investor, you can copy and paste it in to see the flow of funds—this is the most direct and basic method.
