【Chain News】On-chain whales’ recent actions are quite worth paying attention to. According to Hyperbot data, two major players have been continuously increasing their positions recently.

First is the address “Strategy Opponent,” whose long positions have already accumulated to a scale of $205 million. Their current allocation is relatively diversified, holding long positions in BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, XPL, and PUMP. This multi-asset layout indicates they are betting on the rise of multiple hot assets.

The other major holder is called “pension-usdt.eth,” with a position size of $60.87 million, which is relatively smaller but also continuously increasing their holdings. Their strategy is more focused, holding only ETH long positions, making it a more pure bullish bet on Ethereum.

The rolling position increases of these two addresses during this period suggest they are quite optimistic about the market outlook. From the position direction, they are mainly betting on the current market rally.

BTC-0.5%

ETH-0.8%

SOL-2.01%

XRP-1.32%

Oh no, these two whales are starting to aggressively add to their positions again. It feels like the market is about to rise... Wait, are they really willing to pile up 200 million USD in long positions? Aren't they afraid of a market reversal? That guy from pension is solely focused on ETH. His confidence is unmatched, purely betting on Ethereum taking off. This momentum really looks bullish. Maybe it's good to follow and take some small bites?

The whales are starting to distribute again... This time, do you really think you can get on board, or are you just betting on the odds? A volume of 200 million dollars is also quite intimidating.

Damn, is this wave of following the trend really looking good? Dropping two hundred million dollars directly—these guys are really bold. The whale is dealing with multiple coins, Pension only sticks to ETH. With such a big strategy gap, who can win? Adding to this level of position indicates they think this market is stable. But I feel a bit uncertain. If a two hundred million position crashes, how much face will this guy lose? However, logically speaking, if big players dare to pile up like this, shouldn't retail investors try a small amount too? Pension only plays ETH. This guy really knows his stuff. Focus equals victory. Strategy opponents are spreading across multiple coins. Are they betting on sector rotation? Watching the position increase makes me nervous. This is the daily life of retail investors. Every move of the contract whales is affecting us. Truly impressive.

Whales are adding to their positions again, and this pace is really a bit aggressive... A long position of over 200 million indicates that big funds are still optimistic. However, this kind of dispersed strategy also carries significant risks; a single correction could trigger a chain reaction.

The whale's move this time is really an all-in, especially that position of over 200 million... It feels like the market bottom is indeed not far away. --- That old guy from pension is purely staking ETH. Is he planning to eat his fill? It's much more comfortable than reckless dumping strategies. --- Ah, adding to positions and rolling over positions again. These people really don’t treat money as money... I wonder when retail investors will get a chance to profit. --- Diversifying across multiple tokens does spread risk, but for a new coin like PUMP to be heavily held, they must be very optimistic... It’s still too exciting. --- Wait, are these two addresses really whales? Or is some institution just putting on a show again? --- Watching them keep adding to their positions, I think of the last time the leek trap was set... Hmm, maybe I should just wait and see.
