📈 Do whales know where the market is going?
In the market, there are thousands of hedge funds and market makers with billions of dollars under management. It seems like they control everything. But is that true?
📉 Example: A private trader opened a futures position of $1 billion, investing $100 million of their own funds.
The market went against them — down $100 million. Whale? Yes. But that didn’t save them. Screenshot attached.
🔴 For every whale, there is a bigger whale.
📉 Alameda and 3AC — huge funds that had insider information, manipulated projects, and were involved in the collapse of Terra Luna.
But what happened in the end? Both bankrupt.
A logical question:
• If they knew the market direction — why did they go bankrupt?
• If “whale insiders” work — why do private investors lose millions?
🐋 So when someone starts talking about “whale insiders,” “whales definitely know,” etc. - ask why they themselves regularly go bankrupt or lose on trades.
The market is about working with probabilities and variables, which one must be able to adapt to in time.
