A clever trader caught a good bottom on Christmas Eve.

On December 25th last year, this address built a position of 3,000 ETH at a price of over $3,102, investing a total of $8.78 million. During the three-week holding period, ETH experienced a clear upward trend, reaching a price of $2,927. Just now, this big holder directly transferred all 3,000 ETH to mainstream exchanges. If sold at the current price, this move could net a profit of $525,000.

This transaction looks very straightforward—timing the entry well, holding for less than a month, and then exiting completely. From the timing perspective, the market volatility during the Christmas season indeed provided many opportunities for swing traders. But it also reminds us that whale-level traders are often more敏锐 at capturing short-term price fluctuations; quick in and out is their usual strategy.

Another story of whales bottom fishing, retail investors can only watch the show $525,000 profit in three weeks, this move is truly exceptional Why do they always hit the right spots? I always operate in reverse Quick in and out to make money, but we hold and get cut, this game is a bit unfair Picking up bargains during the Christmas season, whales are always prepared Wait, is this number correct? The price drops but still makes a profit? There’s a detail issue Jealous.jpg, if only I could be this precise too The information gap of big players is really unmatched, we’re always one step behind

hmm technically speaking, timing the exact bottom is almost theoretically impossible... yet here we are. interesting edge case of pure luck mixed with decent reconnaissance work. wonder if they're actually gonna exit or just another whale baiting liquidations lol

$525,000, this is the level of swing trading that others are playing at. This guy really has it down—over fifty thousand dollars in a month, while I'm still studying candlestick charts. Whales are just whales; the information gap is right there, and ordinary people really can't keep up. But speaking of which, completely clearing your position... that's a bit cowardly, haha. This is real quick in and out trading; those of us holding coins should learn from it.

It's another story of whales bottoming out, and this move is really aggressive... As retail investors, we can only watch and envy.
