On-chain monitoring shows that the whale wallet nemorino.eth sold 3,000 WETH at a high of $3,095 and then bought back at a low of $2,991.29, completing a standard T-shaped operation. Although the average price was lowered, it still faces an unrealized loss of $390,000, indicating that large funds are cautious about the market price.

【Block Rhythm】On-chain monitoring data shows that the band trading whale nemorino.eth sold 3,000 WETH at a price of $3,095 last night. Just five minutes later, this guy bought back his entire position at a low of $2,991.29. A classic T-shaped move—selling high and buying low—was executed swiftly.

According to wallet tracking data, this individual now holds a total of 7,104.13 WETH, with an average cost of around $3,045.24. Although this operation lowered the average cost somewhat, it still couldn’t escape the market’s downturn—at the current price, the unrealized loss is still about $390,000.

This move is quite interesting; although it lowered the cost basis, it also indicates that large funds are still somewhat cautious about the current price. Short-term contrarian trades are more aggressive, but ultimately, it still depends on the overall market direction.

5-minute T-shaped operation still loses 390,000, this is outrageous. Big brother still needs to wait for the right opportunity.

$390,000 loss and still averaging down—that's why I can never become a whale. --- T-shaped trading can't save the overall trend, that's the real truth. --- Five-minute buy and sell, their quick hands cost me a month's salary. --- Losing $390,000 but still holding on, I respect you as a real man. --- The problem isn't with T-shaped trading, it's choosing the wrong direction; no matter how much you short, it's useless. --- This is what rich people's worries look like—averaging down requires having enough bullets. --- Big funds are cautious? Nonsense. Honestly, they just can't predict the market accurately. --- Making profit or loss within a minute, losing $390,000 in a month—no matter how you calculate, it's not worth it. --- Even whales have to kneel; it seems no one can escape this wave of decline. --- Buy back from 3095 to 2991—quick reflexes and reverse trading are garbage; the ending is still wiping out your assets.

A T-shaped move looks good, but it can't withstand the overall trend. A loss of 390,000 is just a wash. --- Whales show off their moves every day, but in the end, they're still beaten by the market. --- A 5-minute T can get on the chain and make news, but no one pays attention to our retail operations even if we trade more frequently. --- Tired of the excuse to lower costs? The key issue is that the main trend hasn't rebounded. --- The lesson from $390,000 is the price of playing with leverage. --- Even such small trades are being watched; do we still need privacy? --- Big funds are still cautious? I think it's just because they lack confidence. Is there any hope for WETH? --- A T-shaped move can't save a plummeting situation. Face the reality.

A loss of 390,000 dollars and still holding onto the cost basis, this mindset is really hard to maintain.

Lowering costs still results in losses, indicating that this price level really has no confidence.

A loss of 390,000 is still being averaged down; this guy is really a fighter among the leeks. --- 5-minute T trading, but still couldn't escape the decline. How to say it, it's a bit tragic. --- This is the feeling even big funds can't hold onto; averaging down the cost is still useless. --- Over 7,100 WETH, average price 3045, a floating loss of 390,000 is really unbearable. --- If even the big whales are averaging down, what does that mean? The market hasn't bottomed out yet. --- No matter how fancy the operation, a loss of 390,000 still hurts; no one can avoid it. --- How much can a 5-minute T operation save? Still haven't caught the bottom.
