Interesting pattern emerging in BTC markets lately. Major whale addresses have been actively liquidating retail traders holding high-leverage long positions, creating significant pressure on the upside. But here's where it gets interesting—once the leverage cascade plays out and positions get wiped, these same whale wallets pivot and start accumulating aggressively at lower levels. Classic move. The coordinated buying after the flush-out suggests strategic players are positioning ahead of the next leg up. Retail gets caught in the squeeze, institutions grab the dip. Tale as old as crypto trading.

ngl this is just the market's favorite tragedy on repeat—whales choreograph chaos like it's shakespearean drama and retail's always the tragic chorus... classic predator play disguised as price discovery

Whales have been playing this game for ten years and are still so ruthless; retail investors will always be the leeks.

It's the same old trick again. Big players harvest the retail investors' gains, then start buying the dip after they’re full, while retail investors keep getting caught in the trap every time.

The newbies are still studying this set, while the big players have already mastered it.

It's the same old trick again: big players dump, small investors get caught, then they turn around and buy the dip, cycle repeats...
