[ SLANG ][ ONCHAIN_BEHAVIOR ][ NOUN ]
The pattern of large holders systematically moving their positions between different tokens or wallets in sequence, distinct from a whale exit by being an ongoing cycle rather than a single one-time departure.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"There's a clear whale rotation happening between these three tokens, same wallets cycling through each one."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'whale-account'/'whale-exit' with 'rotation' framing, borrowed from the same cyclical-movement language used across trading and gaming terms in this dictionary.
