Recession is coming, but this whale metric tells me when to exit. (Part 2)

Let’s keep it real.

We all know a recession is coming.

The macro data is screaming it.
Yield curve’s inverted.
Liquidity is contracting.
Layoffs are picking up again.

And yet…

Prices are pumping.

Bitcoin is above $100K.
Altcoins are flying.
Everyone’s back in full FOMO mode.

Retail is dancing like the crash isn’t loading…

And that’s exactly how the game is designed.

🐋 This Is When Smart Money Prepares Their Exit

They don’t panic.
They don’t tweet.
They don’t chase candles.

They quietly exit while everyone else is euphoric.

And there’s one metric I watch every single day to spot when that’s about to happen:

💡 “Exchange Whale Ratio”

It tracks how much BTC whales are sending to exchanges.

And guess what?

Every time this ratio spikes…

Price tanks shortly after.

It’s one of the cleanest leading indicators I use to front-run blow-offs and breakdowns.

🎯 Example: What This Looks Like in Real Time

Let me walk you through the cycle:

1. Whale wallets start moving BTC onto exchanges.
   The “Exchange Whale Ratio” (blue line) spikes.

2. Price is still pumping.
   Retail is still bullish.

3. But whales are already selling — slowly, smartly.

4. Then comes the trigger:

   • Some bad news drop.

   • One flash crash.

   • A big wick takes out retail stop losses.

5. Fear spreads.
   Retail dumps.
   Panic selling hits.

6. Whales BUY IT BACK at 20–30% discounts.

That’s the real game.

It’s not just about profit — it’s about control.

They don’t just exit.
They manufacture fear…
To re-enter lower.

📉 So Where Are We Now?

The ratio right now?

🟢 Still low. Around 0.4.

Which means…

• Whales are still holding.

• They’re riding this pump for now.

• But they haven’t started unloading yet.

That’s your warning shot.

That’s when smart money is prepping the rug — not just for profit, but to flush the weak hands and reload cheaper.
