Recently, two market signals are worth analyzing separately—on-chain data and policy factors are starting to resonate.
First, let’s talk about on-chain activity. When Ethereum dropped below $2,700 yesterday, the well-known whale "Maji" directly scooped up $8.8 million worth. More importantly, in the past 2 hours, ETH balances on major exchanges have plummeted by 2,300 coins. This pace of outflows from existing holdings usually means that large funds are building positions at low levels, and market liquidity is gradually being locked up.
Now for the macro side. The Fed has already hit pause on quantitative tightening, and market expectations for a December rate cut have now risen to 89%. But what's truly interesting is the personnel change—the probability of Hassett taking over as Fed Chair has soared to 86%. He previously served as an advisor to a compliance platform and personally holds over $1 million in COIN shares. If he takes office, the policy bias toward the crypto market could exceed expectations.
With these two clues combined, the coming price action might be even more aggressive than most people expect.

Machi's move this time is truly impressive, buying the dip at 2700 with 8.8 million. I have to admire this pace... But wait, what if they really start dumping?

The moment Machi bought $8.8 million worth, I knew something was off... The whales are frantically accumulating at low prices, this playbook is all too familiar.
I really can't hold it in anymore. If Hassett really takes the position, our market might just take off.
2,300 ETH outflow from exchanges? That’s a sign of liquidity being locked up. Just wait and watch the show.

Machi's buying spree this time is really quite aggressive. The outflow of 2,300 ETH shows that someone is indeed lying in wait at low levels. But is that thing about Hassett really true? If he does take office holding a million COIN shares, that policy direction could really get skewed.

Machi's move this time is pretty ruthless—started buying at 2700. Really comes running at the first hint of blood.

ngl the whale accumulation narrative is getting a lil too convenient... like, are we sure this isn't just normal liquidity mechanics being repackaged as some grand conspiracy? 🤔 but yeah, if hasset actually gets the fed gig with all that COIN exposure, the game theory implications become... arguably non-trivial. path dependency on regulatory capture is real though.

Machi's move this time is really brilliant. Sweeping up at low prices is definitely sending us a signal.
