In today’s cryptocurrency market, the newly launched memecoin Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) — which had surged by a whopping 237% over the past seven days — hit a rough patch. The token’s price dropped by almost 10% within the past hour and experienced a total 16% decline in the last 24 hours, sparking buzz among traders and investors.
Mixed Whale Activity: Profit-Taking Meets New Buys
After an impressive rally, where several whales aggressively bought $GOAT, some large investors have started to cash out and lock in profits. According to data from Lookonchain, one major whale who previously accumulated $GOAT is now offloading his holdings.
This whale originally spent 602.64 SOL to buy 10.71 million $GOAT. He has now sold 9.25 million $GOAT for 19,669 SOL, achieving an incredible profit of 19,067 SOL (roughly $3.2 million) — a 32x return on his initial investment. The whale isn’t done, though, as he still holds 1.46 million $GOAT tokens, valued at around $506,000.

Dips Attract Whales
While some whales are booking profits, others seem to view the dip as an opportunity to buy more $GOAT. Earlier today, Lookonchain reported that another whale withdrew 2 million USDC from Binance to purchase additional tokens, doubling down on $GOAT.
Over the past four days, this whale has spent $7.14 million to acquire 21.39 million $GOAT tokens at an average price of $0.3338, spread across four wallets. The whale’s buying spree is still ongoing, which might hint at potential stability or further upside in $GOAT’s price.
What’s Next?
With whales both selling for profits and buying on the dip, the near future of Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) could see some price stabilization. If buying continues, it could balance out the impact of the recent sell-off, giving traders reason to stay optimistic.
