Why Tracking Whales Matters?
According to Santiment, closely following whale activity in the altcoin market can guide traders toward profit opportunities. Tokens that experience increased whale activity after price declines may be set for price bounces, presenting potential buy-in points.
As always, while these signals are valuable, investors should conduct thorough research and consider market conditions before making decisions based on whale activity.
