Whale

An individual or entity that holds a very large amount of cryptocurrency. Whales can move markets with a single trade because of the sheer size of their holdings. Tracking whale wallets is a common strategy for predicting price movements.

Example

A Bitcoin whale moved 10,000 BTC to an exchange, sparking fears of a sell-off.
