Whale Trades: Tracking Large Real-Time Executions

A whale trade, on BTCWEAPON.COM, is any single executed trade of at least $75,000 notional value, captured in real time directly from exchange trade streams (not delayed or estimated). Individually, one large trade doesn't mean much - it could be one account rebalancing. But summed over a window (1H, 4H, 24H), the net of whale buy volume minus whale sell volume becomes a read on whether large players are net accumulating or net distributing. Why it matters more than retail volume: whale-sized executions are far more likely to come from funds, market makers, or high-conviction traders than from small retail orders, so their net direction carries more information about where informed money is actually positioned. BTCWEAPON.COM's Institutional Diagnosis combines whale net flow with liquidation data (see Liquidation Radar) across three separate time windows - 1H, 8H, and 24H - to separate short-term noise from a sustained accumulation or distribution trend.
