Whale Radar

Track large trader movements in real time and get alerted when whale accumulation or distribution patterns emerge.

What is Whale Radar?

Whale Radar monitors the activity of large market participants — whales — and surfaces their movements as they happen. It tracks exchange deposits and withdrawals by large holders, identifies when clusters of whale addresses act in coordination, and alerts you when accumulation or distribution patterns emerge.

In crypto markets, whales can move prices. A single large holder depositing coins to an exchange may be preparing to sell, while large withdrawals from exchanges to cold storage often indicate long-term accumulation. Whale Radar tracks these movements across exchanges to give you advance warning of potential large-scale buying or selling.

The tool goes beyond simple transaction monitoring by identifying patterns of coordinated behavior. When multiple large addresses start moving funds in the same direction around the same time, it suggests deliberate coordination rather than random activity. These cluster events are some of the most powerful signals available because they represent concentrated capital acting with purpose.

Key Concepts

• Whale Accumulation: A pattern where large holders are steadily increasing their positions, often through exchange withdrawals or large limit orders
• Whale Distribution: The opposite pattern — large holders reducing their positions, typically through exchange deposits followed by market sells
• Cluster Activity: When multiple whale addresses act in a similar direction within a short time window, suggesting coordination
• Exchange Flow: The net movement of coins to and from exchanges by large holders — inflows suggest selling intent, outflows suggest holding

How to Use Whale Radar

1. Open Whale Radar from the sidebar under Whale Tools
2. The dashboard displays recent whale activity, sorted by significance
3. Filter by coin, exchange, or activity type (accumulation, distribution, transfer)
4. Monitor the alerts panel for newly detected patterns
5. Click on individual events to see the full context including wallet history and related transactions

What to Look For

• Bullish signals: Multiple whale addresses withdrawing from exchanges simultaneously indicates coordinated accumulation. Increasing withdrawal sizes over time suggest growing conviction. New wallet clusters appearing with large balances signal fresh capital entering.
• Bearish signals: Large deposits to exchanges from whale addresses, especially if multiple whales deposit to the same exchange within a short period. Watch for whale wallets that have historically been accurate in timing their exits.
• Key patterns: Whales often accumulate over days or weeks, not in single transactions. Look for a series of related movements rather than isolated events. A sudden spike in whale activity after a period of quiet often precedes a significant price move.
• Combine with: Whale Delta for a structured view of whale versus retail positioning, On-Chain Analytics for deeper blockchain data, Smart Alerts to automate notifications when specific whale patterns appear

Tips

• Not all whale movements lead to price impact — some are simply portfolio rebalancing or transfers between personal wallets. Context matters.
• Track specific whale addresses over time to understand their historical accuracy and trading patterns
• Whale Radar is a leading indicator that shows positioning, but whales can also be wrong — use it as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal
