When major holders find themselves in the red, distinguishing genuine accumulation signals from mere damage control becomes the real puzzle. Deep underwater positions can mask intent—is the whale loading more at these prices, or simply averaging down to salvage a losing trade? The mechanics look identical on-chain, yet the outcomes diverge sharply. This ambiguity sits at the heart of every whale-watching analysis.

Laughing and then suddenly crying, even big players are human and have to hide the truth about their losing positions

To be honest, it's really hard to tell from on-chain data whether big players are accumulating or cutting losses, and that's the most frustrating part.

This is the real devil in the details. Not being able to see through the true intentions of the big players is a bit hopeless.
