What would settle it: The original Lookonchain on-chain transaction data for the whale's wallet address covering Oct. 12.
What to make of it
Treat the existence of a BTC-to-ETH whale rotation around Oct. 12 as established, but do not rely on either outlet's specific BTC or ETH totals until the underlying on-chain transactions are checked directly.
