Token Holder Structures & Spotting Market Makers

Understanding a token’s holder structure is key to gauging both potential and risk. And knowing how market makers ("whales") operate is crucial.🧠 Common Whale Address Types:

1. Main Whale Wallets

   1. Role: Accumulate & HODL

   2. Traits: Enter during sideways consolidation, quietly build positions

2. Market Maker Wallets

   1. Role: Create volume, control price ranges

   2. Traits: High-frequency trades, often selling into tops or buying dips to absorb weak hands

3. Short-Term “Wild Whales”

   1. Role: Exploit hype runs, flip fast

   2. Traits: Usually found in trending narrative tokens, aggressive trading style

🔍 How to Spot Them:

• Focus on Top 100 Holders

  • Key wallets absorb during sideways moves

  • Sudden clustering signals possible manipulation

• Track trade patterns

  • Market makers often buy small at lows and sell big at highs

  • Look for shift from retail to whale hands before breakouts
