Whale gains $525,000 in three weeks with 3,000 ETH, building positions at Christmas lows and cashing out at highs

【Blockchain Rhythm】An interesting on-chain movement worth noting. A major whale made a low-cost position on Christmas Day, acquiring 3,000 ETH when the price was still below $2,930, with a book value of $8.78 million. After three weeks of patient holding and a market rally, the whale found an opportunity to sell—recently offloading all at an average price of $3,102, with a single swing trade profit of $525,000.

What’s even more interesting is that the whale did not choose over-the-counter trading but instead directly deposited this ETH into a major exchange. Such large inflows often hint at potential follow-up actions in the short term. From building the position to profit-taking and clearing, the entire cycle was short, but the timing of this move was just right.
