how to read this

Whale money is genuinely split here. Ben Shelton took 55% of the buy volume and Carlos Alcaraz took 45%, so large wallets are on both sides of this question. There is no whale consensus to follow.

Between those entries and the last print the market moved 65 cents toward the side whales bought. That is the distance between two observed prices, not a profit: we do not know which of these wallets are still holding.

The market has since converged — Ben Shelton last traded at 99.9¢ on 2026-09-09 — so this page is a record of how large wallets positioned while the question was still open.
