Analytics provider Lookonchain highlighted a whale trader who lost money on Dogwifhat WIF/USD but successfully captured profits trading Popcat POPCAT/USD.

What Happened: The trader initially lost $4.44 million trading WIF twice between April 8 and June 24.

Why It Matters: The whale’s trading strategy demonstrates the high-risk, high-reward nature of cryptocurrency trading. Despite suffering a significant loss, the trader managed to recover by diversifying their portfolio and investing in different cryptocurrencies.

Dogwifhat's 10% gains over the last week added to its 80% rally over the past month. The trader’s decision to hold onto WIF despite the initial loss and invest in POPCAT shows a strategic approach to managing risk and maximizing potential returns.

Rekt Capital marked Dogwifhat successfully retesting the $2.52 level as support for building on its current rally. He added that with this retest, “WIF is now positioned for a move across its red-red range to as high as the $3.22 Range High resistance."
