Large traders are adjusting their strategies. According to on-chain monitoring data, the whale that previously sold 255 BTC has recently increased their position—continuing to expand their 10x leveraged short position on BTC, while also opening new short positions on ETH and SOL.

Specifically, the operation involved opening a 10x leveraged short on ETH with a size of 36,281 ETH (equivalent to $10.65 million); a 20x leveraged short on SOL with a size of 114,677.21 SOL (about $14.13 million); and a short position on BTC with a size of 552.25 BTC (approximately $48.16 million). The total short position has now approached $169 million.

This move reflects the large trader's short-term market outlook, with multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously increasing short positions and high leverage levels. It is worth watching how the market will perform in the subsequent period.

BTC-1,59%

ETH-3,38%

SOL-5,94%

Data shows that this whale really dares to play... A short position of $169 million, but such leverage multiples will eventually lead to trouble.

Damn, this whale is causing trouble again, with $169 million in shorts. Are they trying to crash the market?

This guy is really a gambler, 20x leverage on SOL. How confident is he?

Enjoy the show, everyone. The big players are stepping in. Now it depends on how the main forces counter.

With so many short positions, we need to be cautious in the short term, but I still remain bullish.

Whether it can be crushed this time depends on whether the market's confidence is strong enough.

Wow, this whale is really playing for keeps. Dropping 169 million directly, retail investors need to be careful.

This time, it's a serious short, not just for fun.

Leverage 20x on SOL? Either they have some insider information or they're just gambling.

Wait, this guy previously sold 255 BTC, and now he's starting to move again... gotta keep a close watch.

I think this time it's likely to dump the market; such a move by big players won't be wasted.

This whale is really playing around, it's basically gambling on a blank. $169 million directly pressed on the decline, truly a big risk-taker.

Damn, this whale is really daring to play. A short position of over 150 million USD, opened just like that.

Confident in this whale, betting that its judgment is more accurate than my instincts.

This move... if I miss out, I’ll be so heartbroken.

Multiple cryptocurrencies shorting simultaneously, did they detect some signal?

20x leverage SOL short position, this move is a bit ruthless.

Are big players betting on shorting getting this aggressive lately?

1.69 billion USD, truly a game of idle money.

Is this about to trigger a chain reaction? Feels dangerous.

The big players are making their move, and retail investors can only tremble and follow.

This whale is really bold, shorting SOL with 20x leverage... Once the market reverses, they'll probably get liquidated immediately.

BTC hasn't even started to decline, and they're already dumping? Not afraid of triggering a market crash?

A short position of 169 million, betting on a major drop in the market. Are big investors still bearish?

Leverage this high, either they are very confident in the trend or they are just crazy.

Shorting ETH and SOL is quite interesting; it seems they are not only focusing on Bitcoin anymore.

This guy sold 255 BTC last time, and now he's doing it again? Honestly, it's a bit intimidating.

Synchronous short positions across multiple cryptocurrencies... Is the market about to change? Or is it just pure profit-taking?

Playing SOL with 20x leverage, this risk is really exciting.

The data alone is quite frightening; I'm just worried about getting caught on the wrong side later.

Damn, this whale is starting to cause trouble again. With $169 million in shorts, do they want to continue bloodletting retail investors?

This time, they are really dumping the market. BTC, ETH, SOL all in—looks like they are confident.

Multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously shorting—this rhythm feels off. Seems like another stampede is coming.

Leverage at 20x—this guy is really playing with fire.

When others panic, he’s adding to his shorts—his mental toughness is incredible.

The question is, how do we respond? Is this a pie or a trap?

With a scale of $169 million, it’s clear the whale really intends to move this market. We need to be cautious.

It looks like the short-term outlook isn’t very optimistic. Retail investors should be cautious when bottom-fishing.

The most dangerous time is when big players add shorts—that’s a signal.

Here we go again. Every time this guy acts, the market gets volatile.
