BERA has nearly a 30% increase in the past 24 hours, and many are chasing the high. But looking at a set of on-chain data, it might be time to stay calm.

According to whale holdings statistics, there are 98 bearish whales and only 88 bullish whales — with bearish whales outnumbering bullish ones. More striking is the size of their positions: the total position value of bearish whales reaches 7.30M, while bullish whales only have 4.05M — almost double.

This is not the most critical point. Both sides' whale accounts are currently at break-even. In other words, even if the price has risen 30%, these large holders haven't made any profit. What does this usually indicate? Either whales are distributing at high levels, or they are laying the groundwork for a subsequent decline. Since bearish whales are numerous, hold heavy positions, and haven't realized profits yet but are still accumulating, the risk signals should be taken seriously.

When market sentiment is so complex, chasing the high can easily lead to pitfalls. It might be better to wait and see what whales do next.

The bears are so fierce, large investors haven't even made money yet and are still stockpiling? Isn't this clearly trying to dump the market? Those chasing the high are all just leeks.

Shorts 7.3M vs. longs 4.05M, this gap isn't just a matter of manipulation... The whales haven't even made money yet and are stockpiling, I think they're positioning for the upcoming decline. Friends chasing the high, you might want to be cautious this time.

The short and long positions are twice as different, this data is a bit scary... Not making money and still accumulating, it does feel a bit strange, and the sense of distribution at high levels is getting stronger. A 30% increase so quickly, it feels like someone is bloodsucking, better to stay on the sidelines for now. Even the whales haven't moved, it's ridiculous for us to chase the highs. Just watch the show and don't be a leek.

Shorts 7.3M vs. longs 4.05M, the gap is huge. Even the whales aren't making money and are instead accumulating, isn't this a setup? Those chasing the high need to wake up.

Short positions are doubling, and profits and losses are still stuck at zero... This rhythm feels off. What big move are the whales holding back?

Shorts 98 versus longs 88, with positions still half, this gap is a bit shaky. The key point is that even after a 30% increase, the big players are still in a loss, which suggests what? Distributing or setting a trap? I dare not chase.
