#数字货币市场回调 A dormant ETH Whale that has been silent for ten years suddenly reappears: $120 million poured into the staking pool, what does this mean?

Just early this morning, an Ethereum address that had been inactive for over ten years suddenly became active, directly depositing 40,000 ETH (worth approximately $120 million) into a staking protocol. These tokens can be traced back to the Ethereum ICO period, and the ability to hold them until now is itself a signal.

Interestingly, the Whale has chosen not to cash out but to lock up their stake. This action reveals two layers of information: first, the holder has enough confidence in the long-term value of ETH; second, the current price level may not be seen as a peak in their eyes. In comparison, how many retail investors chase high prices at the market peak and cut losses at the bottom of a bear market? Patience is often more valuable than technical analysis.

How should ordinary investors respond to such news? To be honest, blindly following the crowd is a big taboo. A more reliable approach is to observe the changing trends in the total amount of staking, and combine it with market sentiment to determine the timing for entry. When it's time to enter the market, don't hesitate; when it's time to take profits, don't get attached to the battle – it sounds easy, but it all depends on execution.

The wealth accumulated by whales over ten years is backed by their immunity to volatility. Retail investors may not need to wait ten years, but they at least need to learn to stay clear-headed amidst the noise. After all, the market never lacks short-term opportunities; what it lacks are people who can hold their positions.

The recent fluctuations of $ETH are worth continuous attention, as subsequent changes in on-chain data may provide more clues.
