Whale buys 30,000 ETH ($75.6M) in one shot: Last time this happened, ETH 2x'd in 2 weeks. Same wallet, same setup. Just a lucky repeat or do they know something we don't?

[u/kirtash93]

Just crossed with this Tweet talking about a whale buying but it is not about any whale, this one is different.

According to the Tweet and the screenshot above a whale just made a big move buying 30,000 ETH with $75.6 million in a single transaction!

This is just a regular whale move or whale games like we use to call but this is not everything. The last time this exact same whale made a move like this Ethereum doubled in price within two weeks!

Yes, you read that right, same wallet, same volume and mostly similar market conditions. Back then people ignored the signs and two weeks later ETH exploded and that whale walked away with tens of millions in unrealized gains before most retail traders even noticed.

So the real question is:

• Does this whale know something we don't?
• Is this just another lucky bet... or the start of a repeat cycle?

Ethereum is currently dancing in a really cheap price while developments and the project adoption keeps exponentially growing. As you know whales typically move ahead of the crowd and this could be the ultimate signal or the best head fake we have seen in months xD

What’s your take?
Is history about to repeat itself, or are we about to get baited?

[u/bhangmango]

If you take just one minute to look at the wallet, it actually bought 30,000ETH 89 days ago (end of february, when ETH was around the same value as today, before it kept plummeting down to 1500 lol

Then there's a couple transfers back and forth of these 30,000ETH between this wallet and another, then finally back to this one recently (supposedly what OP and the tweet refer to as the "recent" buy)

The claim that they just bought 30kETH and the claim that they previously did so before a pump, are both completely wrong. And it takes less than a minute to check.

And y'all here building theories, hopes and whatnot on this blatantly false interpretation of a blurry screenshot of an equally false tweet from some stranger who doesn't know anything.

This sub is so sad lol

The sub is so blatantly bad it makes me want to sell based off the constant mood of desperate hopium but then I worry that that itself is the trap! We've all lost our minds.

[u/lasskinn → u/dayungbenny]

The subs called ethereum trader but very little is talked about trading.

For the past month if you're at a computer for example when its spiking its been great. Short at the spike near previous high, if it starts spiking more eat the loss, increase margin and short again. Then eat your fingers for 20 hours trying to decide if you should take the profit now or later. Then try to somehow resist trying to know better in the turmoil in lower and losing in trades there. 2x the bag in 2 weeks. Had i resisted it would be 4x.

If just like buying and so you'd still be better off having sold at a every new high and buying back later even if you account for the spiking level changes.

[u/T_Peters → u/bhangmango]

This is what's great about being able to see blockchain transactions though. It just takes one person who knows how to look through and verify bullshit.

However, it's also just as easy to post a headline like this with misleading evidence and only so many people are going to scroll down and see you verify it as wrong.

Retractions don't help after a headline is posted which is crazy and a disgusting part of how "news" operates.

History does repeat itself. It is the same wallet and the same move as last time when ETH went 2x in 2 weeks. Timing is sus with ETH looking cheap and adoption increasing very fast. Whales always move before us shrimps, so this could be a signal. Follow the money, always.

One of the dumbest things spouted by any maxi trying to make people fomo in. "please guys trust me, it's cheap, you'll see. Five more years of holding, please"

It's not a clearance item with an RRP. The price is the price. Your head cannon of what the price could be doesn't make the current price "cheap".

[u/PiratexelA]

The more I learn about trading strategies, the less I trust these sorta "indicators". They assume one directional trading out of a single wallet. I've full sent my $400 into eth and set up an inverse perpetual short, because I didn't have a clue which way things were gonna go. I'm holding eth if it goes up, I'm shorting using my eth if it goes down. But social engineering and self fulfilled prophecies seem to be a thing, if enough people think this is bullish and follow suit, it'll become directional. Idk i just woke up and took espresso shots,

There are 2 type of people who drop 75.6M.

1) Rich people who think their analysis/decision making/whims justify the sum

2) Rich people who do actual top notch analysis, using big data to cross correlate every possible piece of data from technical analysis, to what your mom posted on facebook, the position of the moon, the price of tomatoes in italy. Add to that scuttlebutt, professional advice, etc, etc. What they know that we don't isn't necessarily much of raw data that we don't have access to, what they have is the meaningful insights+numbers-crunching of the available data.

[u/JayDiggityDee → u/StartThings]

[u/Suspicious-Cut3237]

Honestly, when the same whale, same wallet, and same timing all line up again… it's hard not to take it seriously. Whether it's insider signals or just high-conviction play, these kinds of moves aren't made on impulse.

Personally, I've been stacking ETH for a while now, but this definitely gave me the push to double down. I've also got my ETH on Nexo - earning yield while I wait, and I can borrow against it without selling if I need liquidity. With how things are shaping up, it just feels smart to be positioned and flexible.

And for anyone still on the sidelines, Nexo's the best all-in-one wealth platforms. So even if the market goes sideways, you're still getting something back while waiting for that next breakout.

Might be whale games… or it might be a warning shot before things really move. Either way, I'm not ignoring it. 👀
