🔴 Whales Just Shook the Market – Why I’m Staying Out of Futures

The past few hours saw whales move more than a billion dollars’ worth of $ETH and $BTC across Bitfinex, Binance, and unknown wallets. Whenever this kind of heavy shifting happens, it usually sets the stage for volatility that catches traders off guard.

ETH is riding strong momentum with fresh highs and ETF flows, while $BTC is pushing near $116–117K where resistance keeps showing up. On paper it looks bullish, but these transfers can flip the mood instantly—what feels like a breakout can just as easily become a trap when whales start unloading.

My view right now:

this is not the time to get cute with leveraged futures. Sudden price whips are exactly what these massive moves are designed to trigger. Spot makes sense, futures don’t. Whales have the liquidity and patience; retail gets left holding the bag when the rug pulls.

I’d rather sit back, watch how the market digests this billion-dollar shuffle, and wait for clarity before stepping in.$BTC
