In recent times, ancient ETH whales from 2016 have been very active, having sold 7,000 ETH through market makers for a profit of nearly 20 million USD.
[BitPush] An interesting thing has come up. A 2016 ETH old player, with a holding cost so low that it makes people envious, has been very active in the past month - quietly selling off 7,000 ETH through Wintermute, a market maker channel.
Let's do the math: the cost price of this batch of coins is only $203.22, but the average selling price has reached $3024. If sold, it would net a profit of $19,745,000, with a return rate close to 15 times. Just an hour ago, this whale transferred 1000 ETH to Wintermute, valued at $3,010,000 at the current price.
What's even more exaggerated is that after selling so much, they still hold 26,992.67 ETH, worth about 80.99 million USD. Such a significant change in holdings will have some impact on market sentiment. Old investors understand that when a giant whale moves, retail investors get anxious.

Damn, this guy really made a fortune, bought at 203, now selling for over 3000... I'm still catching a falling knife at a high position.

Oh my, this guy is really amazing. He joined in 2016 and is now comfortably earning nearly 20 million. I'm feeling envious.

Oh no, this old Whale has started to cash out again, retail investors need to tremble.
I should have gone all in back in 2016; now I regret it to the core.
With this level of selling pressure, it’s going to be tough in the short term.
I’m just waiting for the celebrities to start spinning stories about how the market makers are whipsawing.
They can sell at 3024 with a cost of 203, I’m really at my breaking point.
Still holding 26,992 coins, this is what true faith looks like.

It's frustrating, this guy just directly switched to cashing out mode, and we retail investors can only watch it go to waste.
Wait, this person still has nearly 27k ETH left? Thank goodness I didn't see it clearly, otherwise my mentality would have collapsed.
Hoarding coins at low prices is just ridiculous, it's so absurd.
Whales are dumping their assets, and we're left with anxiety, it's this kind of cycle.
This is the information asymmetry, the people who entered a position in the morning are on a completely different level from us.

Selling 7000 leaves 27000, what the hell is going on? Slowly releasing and dumping? Or testing the market bottom line...
