A Whale Incurs Losses by Selling $WIF to Buy $BONK and $TREMP Tokens Amid a Price Dip

As per the on-chain analytics provider, the whale reportedly sold up to 1.7 million $WIF tokens. Lookonchain added that the whale intended to purchase $BONK and $tremp tokens in return for that sale. The value of the respective tokens was nearly $4.4 million when the whale was selling them. The recent plunge in the price of the $WIF coin potentially contributed to the respective event.

While providing the background of this move, Lookonchain discussed how the whale bought the $WIF tokens in the first place. It revealed that the whale spent up to 25,682 $SOL tokens for that purpose. By utilizing these $SOL tokens, with a value of nearly $5 million, the whale reportedly purchased 1.7 million $WIF coins. This took place on the 17th of March this year when the value of the $WIF token was approximately $2.94.

Nonetheless, a sheer decline in the token’s price paved the way for the drastic decisions. Lookonchain mentioned that the whale moved forward to experience loss by selling the $WIF tokens. Subsequently, the whale began to purchase $BONK and $tremp tokens.

As a result of this, the price of the $BONK and $TREMP tokens started to elevate. Up till now, the whale has sold 1.28 million $WIF (nearly $3.3 million) for 127.16 billion $BONK. Moreover, he has sold almost 410,688 $WIF (equaling $1.06 million) for nearly 966K $tremp.
