Recently, an interesting on-chain data point has caught attention—early BTC whale addresses holding long positions are showing noticeable losses. According to on-chain tracking data, the overall unrealized loss of this whale's long positions is approximately $5.27 million, with relatively larger losses in BTC and ETH.

From a market perspective, such signals are usually not very optimistic. An increase in unrealized losses among large holders often indicates two possibilities: one is that they may choose to cut losses and sell, and the other is that even without action, this negative position can amplify market pessimism. Moreover, several tokens are involved this time, including BNB, indicating that the pressure is quite widespread.

In the short term, this could exert some downward pressure on market sentiment. After all, the movements of large holders are often a focus for retail investors. Once such data is exposed, it can easily trigger more selling pressure.

BTC-1,05%

ETH-2,3%

BNB-0,84%

Our big players are starting to cut losses again, retail investors following the trend to sell is only a matter of time gm It's another day of cutting losses Wait, is 5.27 million only considered a loss? This little floating loss is nothing to a whale I just want to know who will be the last bagholder this time... Widespread pressure? Isn't the whole market green? Why look for so many reasons Starting to panic again, this is actually the time to buy the dip Exposing data means you have to sell? Forget it, I'll keep lying flat This time is different, it really feels a bit different Honestly, small retail investors will never escape the rhythm of big players harvesting the gains 5.27 million floating loss? I can't even afford to lose one...

Are the big players losing this much? Either cut losses or hold on tight; anyway, as retail investors, we all end up taking the hit haha --- 5.27 million floating loss, are they really going to dump now? --- Wait, if the whales are all losing money, is there still hope for the coins I hold... --- Here we go again, whenever big players move, we have to follow suit and sell off. This market is really --- The question is, when they cut losses, can we escape? --- BTC, ETH, BNB are all under pressure. There's really no way out now --- 5.27 million... If they dump, what will the market look like? I'm a bit scared --- Honestly, even the big players don't know where the bottom is. Can they really feel at ease? --- Something's off. If these data are released just to scare people, right? --- Follow the big players and cut losses, or hold steady? That's the real question

Whale lost 5.27 million? Retail investors, is it time to follow the trend and buy the dip? Haha Big players cutting losses is our opportunity; think about it the other way around 5.27 million is a drop in the bucket for whales, which actually shows they are still holding on Starting to spread pessimistic sentiments again, this kind of news is a signal to buy the dip BTC, ETH, BNB are all under pressure, it seems there are indeed some issues Are early large holders unable to hold on? Then it's really time to consider strategies It's just unrealized losses; what’s truly terrifying is the moment they start selling off Releasing this data itself is a psychological game; don’t be led by the rhythm Whales experiencing widespread losses—what does that indicate? Most likely the bottom range, right?

Big whales losing money means we can make money, but this logic has some issues. $5.27 million floating loss... Is this a signal to dump? Here we go again, every time they talk about how big players are doing this or that, retail investors are still just leeks. Let's wait and see who can't hold on first. Honestly, it's just bad news; don't expect any short-term gains.

Even the big whales are floating at a loss, and I'm still dreaming. 5.27 million dollars, how hard do they have to cut... Wait, is this really a drop or just scaring retail investors? Good morning, it's another bearish day. Cutting losses? I bet they’re still holding on stubbornly. Grinding my teeth, if this wave crashes the market, it’s game over. The big whale admitting defeat is truly not a good sign. Widespread pressure means a big drop is not far away. That's how the crypto world is; the big players get caught, and we're worse off. They're starting to tell stories again, just hold on.

Whale lost 5.27 million, are retail investors going to get cut again? Major investors are selling off, their mentality is collapsing. Floating loss of 5.27 million? This is a signal to us retail investors. Once this data comes out, selling pressure will increase. Hurry up and protect your positions. Why are all the expectations negative? Is this really a bearish conference... Major investors selling at a loss, retail investors taking over, this old trick is tired. The widespread pressure indicates that the risk is real. Many coins are losing value, it feels like a drop is coming. By analyzing the big investors' ledgers, I can predict the market. I’m familiar with this logic. Whale floating losses are expanding; this market is really tough.
