đł Following whales is not a winning strategy!
Yes, they have:
âš Pro tools (ultra-fast data, sophisticated algorithms)
âš Exclusive information (exchanges, privileged partnerships)
âš Massive capital capable of influencing prices
But even the most famous traders lose â and publicly.
âž»
đ Recent examples in 2025:
đ James Wynn (HyperLiquid)
A highly exposed trader, he saw his BTC and ETH positions reach nearly 100 M $ in gains... before losing 17.5 M $ in just a few days on those same trades. Just recently, one of his BTC shorts generated a loss of 25 M $.
đ A whale ETH lost 106 M $ in early April: his position of 67,570 ETH was liquidated after a drop of 14% (~1,800 â 1,547 $).
đ„ Another large leveraged trade x50 on ETH saw 306 M $ vanish in March, after a market pullback below its critical threshold (~1,805 $).

đ§ The reminder:
Even the most publicized traders can be swept away, despite their tools, capital, and experience.

â A better approach:
1. Observe the whales⊠but do not blindly copy
2. Define your own entry and exit points
3. Adopt rigorous risk management
đ Your strength is your method, not someone else's.
