A major WhiteWhale holder just liquidated $1.3M worth of holdings, triggering a sharp -60% price dip in the process. What's notable here isn't just the dump itself—the whale still maintains 1% of total supply, suggesting this could be a partial exit rather than a complete bailout. For traders watching this token, the move highlights how concentrated liquidity can amplify volatility when institutional or large-scale holders decide to take profits. The remaining position indicates the holder might be hedging their exposure rather than completely abandoning the asset, which could mean further price pressure if market conditions deteriorate.

Whale still leaving 1%? This guy clearly still optimistic, or he would have cleared out long ago. --- 60% decline... same old trick, big players dump the market and then pretend nothing happened. --- The problem is liquidity is too concentrated; one whale can wipe out the entire market. --- If he really wanted to run, he would have done so already. Leaving 1% is just testing the bottom. --- This kind of strategy will eventually lead to trouble; it all depends on who takes the final hit. --- Hedging? I think he's just trying to buy back cheaply. That's so old school.

Uh... it's the same old trick again, whales dumping and blaming liquidity? That's really funny. Holding 1% chips is probably to lure more buyers, this brother is clever. After a 60% drop, there must be more to the story, betting he continues to sell. This coin won't die but also can't survive, just hanging there to play with. I think this is not hedging at all, but the last wave of harvesting before liquidation.

Another whale dump story, 1.3 million instantly vaporized, this is truly terrifying Keep 1% to continue causing trouble? Shrug, is this paving the way or cutting the leeks Concentrated liquidity is a ticking time bomb, it will explode sooner or later A 60% drop... why do I feel this is just the appetizer What is this guy waiting for, another round of dumping? I don't understand, selling 90% and holding 10%, what is he trying to do, hedging or something else Really? Just one person can push the price down so much? According to this trend, wait until the market gets a little worse to watch the show, it will definitely fall further Big whale's inner thoughts: First count the chips, keep some as a show If it keeps falling tomorrow, I will laugh, this is called "partial exit" haha

This whale is really ruthless, smashing 60% at once... Wait, he still kept 1%? This guy didn't run, just cashing out. As expected, the concentration is too high, and this level of liquidity can't withstand the turbulence.
