巨鲸用户 / 大户 (Whale): what is it?
持有巨量单一加密货币仓位或庞大资本、其买卖挂单足以直接左右市场走势与价格涨跌的超级大户或机构（巨鲸）。
🎯 Key Takeaways & Use Cases
✓A whale is a very large holder of a specific crypto; the threshold is contextual.
✓Whale activity can influence liquidity, spreads, and short-term volatility; context and data matter.
✓On Solana, use Solscan and independent trackers (e.g., Whale Alert) to observe large transfers and holder concentration.
💡 Real-World Examples
A SOL address transfers millions of SOL between wallets or into an exchange wallet—an event often flagged by whale-tracking services.
A whale moves a large chunk of a Solana meme token; holders notice on the token’s holder tab in Solscan and watch liquidity pools for slippage.
⚡ Pro Trading Tips
▸Treat whale alerts as context, not signals; large transfers do not always imply buys/sells (they can be internal moves or custody changes).
▸Check multiple sources (explorer + tracker) and look at exchange flows and order-book liquidity before drawing conclusions about impact.
