Whales’ Secret Playbook Post-Fed Cuts 🐋💸

by

The US Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut stirred naught but a yawn from the crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum, those modern-day alchemists’ dreams, languished in red, while the total market capitalization slithered down 1.6%. Clearly, the masses had already priced in this meager offering. Yet, what crypto whales-those leviathans of the digital sea-are purchasing post-FOMC cuts has become the latest salacious gossip among traders.

Behold, the great whale herds! They are not roaring into the fray but rather tiptoeing, like cats with stolen sausages, into select tokens where selling pressure wanes and technical setups gleam like polished armor. Data whispers of three such tokens, where whale accumulation has surged since the Fed’s timid gesture-each a potential harbinger of fortune in November’s storm.

Cardano (ADA)

Whales clutching 1-10 million ADA have been adding to their hoard since yesterday, swelling their stash from 5.57 billion to 5.59 billion ADA-a tidy 20 million ADA, worth ~$12.8 million at $0.64. A modest feast for these titans, yet one that hints at a possible rebound after ADA’s 20% plunge over the past month.

On the 12-hour chart, ADA dances within a symmetrical triangle, a geometric ballet of indecision. The $0.64 support holds like a dam against a flood, and a leap above $0.66 might send it toward $0.68-a 6.5% gain. But should the dam crack, $0.62 and $0.60 loom like wolves in the night.

The Wyckoff Volume Chart, that alchemist’s grimoire of volume patterns, reveals sellers losing grip since October 29. A similar shift between October 22-23 birthed a 9.37% rally. Perhaps history repeats itself… or perhaps it mocks us. 🤷

Ethena (ENA)

Besides ADA, Ethena (ENA) has caught the whales’ fancy. The 100 million-1 billion ENA cohort-those ogres of liquidity-added 0.11 billion ENA ($46.2 million) in 24 hours. A feast after a month of gnawing on a 21% price drop. Their hunger suggests a potential reversal.

ENA now trades within a falling broadening wedge-a bullish pattern, like a coiled spring. A failed breakout on October 27 birthed a hidden bearish divergence, where price made lower highs while RSI (that fickle oracle of momentum) made higher ones. Sellers claimed victory… for now.

Yet ENA rebounded from $0.41, its last bastion. A surge above $0.49 might shatter the wedge’s upper trendline, opening the door to $0.65. But should $0.41 fall, the path to $0.34 and $0.28 awaits-a financial purgatory. 🚨

Aster (ASTER)

The third token in the whale buffet is Aster (ASTER), a decentralized perpetual exchange platform. Whales added 26.43% to their ASTER stash in 24 hours, now holding 15.67 million ASTER (~$3.33 million). A frenzy after a 43.2% price drop-proof that even the mighty can fall, but perhaps not forever.

ASTER now resides in a falling broadening wedge, a bullish pattern that could erupt above $0.93. A sustained move to $1.12, then $1.28, and finally $1.79 might follow. Between October 10 and 29, a bullish divergence formed-RSI made higher lows while price made lower ones. A sign, perhaps, that buyers are reclaiming their throne.

But should $0.93 crumble, ASTER’s bullish fairy tale becomes a cautionary tale. The abyss beckons. 😢
