🐋《Whale Movement》｜2025-08-15

📊 Fund Movements:

- Lookonchain disclosed that an Ethereum whale sold 20,600 ETH in the past two days, worth approximately 96.6 million USD, at an average price of about 4,687 USD.

- This whale's previous average purchase price was 3,409 USD, and this round of floating profit exceeds 26 million USD, typical of a swing arbitrage operation.

- Another whale wallet used 10 million USDC to buy 2,174 WETH, with a limit order price of 4,655 USD, indicating a clear intention for short-term buying.

- Binance's announcement shows that in the past 24 hours, net inflows from large holders holding between 1,000 to 10,000 ETH exceeded 2.5 billion USD, indicating that whales are continuously adding positions during the rise.

📈 Long-Short Ratio:

- The current long-short account ratio for ETH is approximately 0.86 (source: Coinglass), slightly bearish, indicating some investors are still hedging or defending.

- The value represents a slight predominance of short positions over long positions, but it is not extreme; the long-short game is intense. Combined with the price increase, caution is needed for the risk of chasing highs.

🧠 Brief Commentary:

- The current ETH market is experiencing a volatile rise, with whales locking in profits while placing low-limit orders, showing a cautious and planned operational style.

- Large funds continue to flow in, and with the limit order layout, the overall structure appears bullish, but short-term volatility risks need to be noted after rapid price increases.

- The long-short ratio is not imbalanced, but there are slight bearish signs, with investor sentiment being cautiously positive.

- Do you think this round of whales is cashing out or inducing retail investors to enter?

- Will ETH break through 4,800 USD in one go, or will it consolidate first before rising again? Feel free to leave your thoughts for discussion 🔥
