Monitoring the movements of smart money is an essential course in this market. Recently, by keeping an eye on the long positions of whales, I noticed a significant decline in holdings, shrinking from 19 to 14. The signal behind this is very clear—big players are gradually reducing their positions.

After realizing this, I also started to close positions in batches. I didn't sell everything at once, and the reason is simple: since the big players haven't fully exited, it means there is still hope. At such times, greed or excessive caution are both pitfalls.

Every fluctuation in whale holdings is worth analyzing. From 19 to 14, each reduction is a signal—big players are testing the market's capacity to absorb their positions while also avoiding risks. Tracking these data changes is less about prediction and more about learning to "resonate" with large funds. Gradually reducing positions and controlling risks are the keys to lasting longer.

From 19 to 14, I saw this move too, but I think the dealer's play might not be over yet. Running in batches is correct; greed is indeed a terminal illness. The problem is, who can see clearly how much of the play is left now? Whale data looks good but can also be deceptive. Is this really a reduction in positions or just probing the market? To be honest, I can't be sure either.

From 19 to 14, watching the whales run away, gotta follow the rhythm.

From 19 to 14, this wave of whales is indeed fleeing, but they haven't completely cut their losses, indicating they're still playing. Just follow and take a sip of the soup, don't be greedy.

From 19 to 14, this wave of shrinkage clearly shows that the whales are testing the waters. Following the phased closing of positions is the right move. When the whales move, the entire market follows; this is the reality. Full withdrawal is as foolish as holding on tightly; you still need to learn to be in sync with smart money. To put it simply, don't be greedy. Selling in batches is the way to go. Position data is all about details and patience. 14 is not the bottom yet, keep watching. Reducing positions by the whales is a signal; copying their moves is the way to go. This round of operations is indeed stable; not a single full withdrawal, which is a good start.

From 19 to 14, I really understand this move. The big players are still testing; don't all rush out.

The market maker pulled back from 19 to 14. This move was really brilliant. Following the phased exit, I understand that not everyone fully sold this move, so there is indeed still a chance.

From 19 to 14, this wave is indeed a bit intense. When the whale's actions change, whether to follow or not follow tests your mentality. Splitting into batches sounds easy to say but hard to do. Most people either go all-in or completely withdraw; no one can really gauge this balance. Follow the big funds in sync? Sounds good, but when the whale switches direction the next second, retail investors like us are still analyzing the charts. At the 14 level, is there really still hope?
