Crypto markets see big players making moves again. Recently, the holdings of a certain whale have attracted attention—despite experiencing unrealized losses of over $80 million, this investor has remained steadfast and held their position. Now, the situation has improved significantly, with losses reduced to around $24 million, approaching the target level for a full recovery.

This mental resilience is truly remarkable. The volatility in the crypto market has always been astonishing; many participants see losses of a few hundred thousand dollars as enough to shatter their confidence and rush to cut their positions. Yet, this major holder has maintained their composure under the pressure of tens of millions in unrealized losses. Such composure and patience are rare in the market.

Interestingly, this whale previously set a price target of 4500 on social media, which many considered just wishful thinking at the time. But as the losses gradually narrow, that prediction now seems less far-fetched.

This move also reveals a market principle: true long-term investors never chase highs or sell lows. Their strategy is to identify the right direction and hold steadily. With the whale just one step away from breaking even, if the price truly surges to 4500, it will be a classic turnaround story—from massive unrealized losses to profit.

In this context, the market’s future trajectory becomes especially worth watching. What are your thoughts on this development?

I have to say, this guy's mental toughness is really top-notch. He can hold on through a floating loss of over 80 million; if it were me, I would have already given up. By the way, for the 4500 target, it seems they have really researched it; it's not just a casual remark. This is the real rhythm of making big money. Retail investors chase the rise and sell the dip every day, no wonder they get cut. Wait, if he really gets out of trouble, does he have to continue holding tightly, or will he smartly sell some off? Actually, the reason big players dare to play like this is because they have sufficient capital. Not everyone can endure that kind of torment when changing positions.

8000万 floating loss didn't cut, this mentality is indeed fierce. But I still think luck plays a bigger role than skill. --- 4500 is a bit of a stretch to call out, whether you believe it or not. --- Wait, is this guy throwing a tantrum? From a behavioral perspective, it's worth thinking about. --- Talking about long-term investment, it's just about choosing the right direction. If it keeps falling, who will still be here bragging? --- If I really got out of the trap, I would transfer him money. It's too early to say these things now. --- From 80 million to 24 million, this rebound is indeed something, but it could also just be a rebound. --- In my opinion, this is a classic survivor bias—who remembers the failed whales? --- Hold on? Or lack of skills to cut? Anyway, the result seems to be correct. --- 4500 really came, it should be written into textbooks—it's a matter of probability. --- I just want to know if he's already reduced his position now. Saying he's holding on, but secretly he already ran.

80 million in losses and still didn't run, this mental toughness is truly incredible. I, as a small retail investor, can’t fully learn this. Honestly, when the 4500 target was announced, I even mocked it. Now, I’m a bit slapped in the face. I'm just worried that this guy is about to be forced out of his position, and then a flash crash happens. The crypto market is so magical. Holding onto coins with faith vs. the reality of suffering—this whale chose the former. If he’s right, it’s a legendary comeback. A floating loss of 24 million and still holding on—this isn’t investing, it’s gambling. But on the flip side, it’s also a win in gambling. If it really hits 4500, how happy would this guy be? My fantasy position could also be unwound. Small retail investors are just too impatient. Seeing millions in losses, they panic and lose their way. The whale simply operates on a different frequency. I’m a bit suspicious if this is insider trading—such precise predictions... Never mind, I don’t want to think about it. That’s just how the crypto market works: if you endure, you become the daddy; if you can’t, you’re just a leek.

The trading strategy is really amazing; being able to stabilize a floating loss of 80 million is not something an ordinary person can learn. Wait, can 4500 really be reached? It feels a bit uncertain. Holding on stubbornly—it's satisfying when you make money, but when you lose everything... well, never mind, don't think about it. If this guy really gets out of trouble, our ordinary retail traders' stories will become even more intense. But to be honest, that's the difference between big players and retail investors—one holds, the other runs. Being so determined—regardless of whether you make money or not, this mental resilience is valuable.
