The biggest players leave the biggest footprints. When a whale moves size onto an exchange or a smart-money cohort flips from buying to selling, it tends to precede price — not follow it. MAX puts that footprint one keystroke away with /whales.
Pulling a whale snapshot
Type /whales
In the composer, hit / and choose /whales, or just type it.
Add an asset (optional)
Use @ to scope it — /whales @BTC — or leave it broad for a market-wide read on where the size is moving.
Read the flow
MAX returns a snapshot of large-wallet movement and cohort positioning, with the numbers attached.
What the flows mean
Raw whale movement is only half the story — direction and context are what make it a signal. The same 10,000-coin transfer means opposite things depending on where it's headed.
A whale moving coins isn't automatically a sell signal. Inflows during a rally read very differently from inflows during a flush. MAX weighs the surrounding regime — funding, price action, and the rest of the stack — before calling a direction.
From snapshot to standing watch
The /whales command is a point-in-time look. When you want to be told the moment the picture changes, turn it into a monitor: "ping me when smart money starts distributing BTC." Now you're not checking — MAX is watching, and it taps you when the cohort flips. (See "How to Set Up a Monitor.")
Flow is the top of MAX's signal hierarchy — it leads the read, ahead of sentiment and technicals. When you analyze a symbol, this same whale data feeds the Flow layer of the verdict. /whales just lets you look at it in isolation.
