Hello,
In some news, it is written that the whales of a coin or token have tried to sell or buy that coin or token, and in this way they recognize the time to buy or sell that coin or token. How can I see the transactions?

Thank you.

This one, but it's mostly related to popular coins (https://t.me/s/whale_alert_io), if you expect alert from new coins I don't know which site/social media have it.

Remember, when there's a huge amount of coins moved to CEX or unknown wallet, it's not always mean someone buy or sell it.

Follow those accounts and get alerts from them.

But I don't need those alerts and I advice you to do the same too. Because those transactions not actually always mean anything to predict the market and price. If you focus on those big transactions and make predictions, you will make wrong decisions.

Focus on fundamentals and invest long term, you don't need those whale alerts.

Blockchain is an open database, and since people are lazy to transfer a billion dollars on the basis that it is a thousand million, then with a simple filter you can determine the movement of the rich or the capital of the rich. It is true that it may be difficult to know the total amount in the wallet and the owner of the wallet, but you may have general information, especially if We were talking about billions of dollars, not a few million.

The owners of such tokens or coins should have a platform ,website, forums e.t.c where infos would be released on daily basis according to their  matters arising, transactions, market caps, because I believe  those transaction should be made officially to the public from matters emerging from their side, Followers could easily grasp what are new in accordance to informations provided. 

You can easily  follow such platforms  as this will make it much more easier for you to get the information  you  are searching for.

You can use the links above, but you're only going to see on-chain trades (those that go through the likes of Uniswap and Sushi). You're not going to see trades/transactions that go through centralized exchanges like Coinbase/Binance because the data is private.

You can use any tool to track the whale transactions for example the following ones.
Whale Alert (https://whale-alert.io/) it will provides you the details of big transactions which can be considered as the ones made by whales and when these whales make transactions it does not mean the market will make moves instantly or slowly even sometimes market don't react to these transactions so be careful while using whales transactions as an indicator to make trades.

https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/crypto-whale-tracker.html can also provides you the list of transactions considered as made by whales.

You can use any tool mentioned by YOSHIE in his post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452269.msg62224069#msg62224069 if you still wanted to know more then don't only read yoshies post instead read the whole thread and also search on google too for btc or any specific whales transaction tool or you can find all rounder whales transaction detection tool.

These tools comes with telegram bots too where you will get the notification of whales transaction directly on your telegram feed or you can subscribe there twitter accounts to get information.

Figuring out who the big players are with crypto takes some digging.  You have to poke around the explorer for whatever coin you want to track down the whale wallets.  Watch those addresses and see where the money is moving so you can get an idea of who the biggest fish are and then follow the money trail right to the crypto moguls.

If you want to buy a coin solely because a whale moved some of that coin, then maybe you should rethink what you want to do. For starters you don't know if the whale is just moving their coin from one of their wallet to another or if they are actually selling it. That being said, alerts of whales moving their coins can create FUD, but only for a short time, thus if you buy a shitcoin because of such alert, there is a high chance you'll end up bagholding the coin.

Buy a coin that has an actual utility, like Bitcoin. Don't buy a coin because a whale bought that coin or because of hype, because all of that can only last for a short time, but a coin with an actual utility is sustainable for the long term.

The moment you get information about these types of transactions, it is usually already too late to get involved and use them for trade. Usually, you would have to know who moved such a large amount and why, to be able to use such information.
It's not quite as simple as it looks.

Usually this is only exposed after they have made a transaction. If we know before they do it, that would be very good because it is certain that the coin/token we are buying or want to go to will not yet know where it will go up or dump it again. but if we buy only a small amount it doesn't have any effect at all.

I wonder if there is a whale that will buy thousands of Bitcoins and then leave them as a balance in Coinbase/Binance. It would be easier to buy Coinbase or GBTC shares or wait until the ETFs come, but all whale transactions are supposed to take place in the OTC markets and appear as transactions on the network.

You can use Bitcoin Explorer or follow on twitter the Whale
it tells when big moves happen

The blockchain industry is an open source, where everyone can see transactions for themselves. There are a million and one transactions that are initiated every second on the chain, which can be seen as transparency and is among the reasons why blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. However, you can still see whale transactions on the chain, but you should note that not all such transactions are coming from individuals, as some of them are from exchanges that are possibly an upgrade or change of wallet or vault.

As you can see,  the above quoted text has a link to whale alert Twitter handle, which was posted as a reply by a member here for your perusal. You should be able to read through it for yourself to see some transactions already broadcast by the bot. Like and follow the Twitter page so as to get whale updates.

Exactly, I don't see more of people after this to seek for market price when there are other vital indication that could help predict rhe market trend on either bullish or bearish, this is more of what is expected of us to do than checking on the whales transaction alert which apparently has nothing to give or show us in knowing what bearing the market us taking, it's more about what we can discover and keep to ourselves than we see.

All the tools, twitter accounts, websites, etc. that are created to alert people of a big move are biased. In fact many of them are created to try and manipulate the market so they report what they want, when they want. For example if they wish to see price drop you will see them report a lot of such transactions. They are not that effective in market manipulation though.

If you want solid statistical information (not useful or trading as I said above) you should look at the blockchain itself. For example the blockchair transaction page (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transactions) lets you filter and sort transactions based on a lot of variables.
For example if you want to see transactions transferring amounts bigger than 100BTC, you just set the output value to "From 100" and see the list:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transactions?s=time(desc)&q=output_total(10000000000..)
Or a 1000
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transactions?s=time(desc)&q=output_total(100000000000..)

You can see a lot of these transactions are not reported by those tools when it doesn't suite their agenda!

Years ago, when I was newbie, I felt excited with news, big transaction alerts but after some years, I realized that they are tools for manipulation and I stop reading news or pay attention on those alerts. Like you said, those things are only meaningful, helpful and attractive in eyes of newbies. For experienced people in this market, they don't need those things.

They don't want to do anything manually and only want to subscribe for a telegram bot, telegram channel, a Twitter account for tweet alerts and they are done in the loop of news, alerts and manipulation which all affect their psychology and decisions.

It's a safe assumption that some do (mostly Coinbase than Binance though, because they're far more regulatory compliant and hence far less likely to rug) — so they can sell immediately when they want to with potentially(depending on how big) a few taps on their smartphone.

There is whale alert on twitter but there is also paid service like https://glassnode.com/ or https://www.coinglass.com/ but I dont think we need whale alert since the alert are delayed so when whale already sell the transaction we will get noticed afterward

I have followed this account and this is very helpful for checking whales making transactions.
I recommend to turn on notification so everyone doesn't miss the tweets

When tracking the movements of whales in a particular coin or token, it often involves analyzing transactions on the blockchain. Whales, typically large holders of the cryptocurrency, can influence the market with their buy or sell actions. To observe these transactions, you can use blockchain explorers specific to the cryptocurrency's network.

For instance, if it's an Ethereum-based token, you can leverage Etherscan to explore the transactions. On the explorer, you can search for the wallet addresses of known whales and monitor their activities. Large transactions, especially those involving significant sums of the token, can be indicative of potential market moves.

It's crucial to pay attention to both buy and sell transactions, as they can provide insights into the sentiments and strategies of major holders. Analyzing transaction patterns and volumes can help you make informed decisions or understand market trends.

Hello,
When whales buy, sell, or hold a coin or token, it means that we must also buy, sell, or hold that token. So how do I know when they do this?

The way to find out is to get to know them all better because only with that can you or anyone else know this thing accurately and correctly. If you don't know the whales or those who have a lot of money to put it into anything, I think it will be difficult for you or anyone else to follow the steps that these whales apply to the market, because they definitely never tell anyone when they are buying, selling , or holding certain coins at certain times.

So the way to do this is to find out who has been pope so far and get to know them quite well using the best methods you have because up until now it has been quite difficult for me to follow in the footsteps of the popes you are referring to. So I can only rely on my own research by continuing to follow the current market flow and hope that I can be lucky enough with the trend conditions that are currently very good like now.
