【Blockchain Rhythm】A whale address (0x271) has recently been very active due to continued optimism about precious metals. This large holder, known on-chain for “heavy long positions in precious metals,” added a 5x leveraged silver futures long position on January 20th, with a scale of 10,000 ounces, approximately $940,000, with an opening average price of $91.3. Currently, this position has already made a small profit, with unrealized gains of about $26,000, and the account’s profit rate has reached 12%.

Interestingly, this is not his first operation. As early as 15 days ago, when the silver price experienced a short-term correction, this whale decisively closed a previous long position of 20,000 SILVER contracts (original scale about $1.88 million, average price $79.6), successfully realizing a profit of $194,000. Now, with a comeback, it’s clear he is very confident about the future market.

Looking at the overall position structure of this account, precious metals are the true love. The on-chain gold PAXG position is valued at $3.05 million, with an average price of $4,429, currently unrealized gains of $170,000; the gold-mapped contract GOLD accounts for $1.64 million, with an average price of $4,509, unrealized gains of $64,000; the newly added SILVER contract is valued at $940,000; additionally, there is a Tesla-mapped contract position worth $560,000, but this currently has an unrealized loss of $45,000, with a return rate of -31%.

Overall, the total value of this account’s precious metals holdings is about $5.64 million, with a leverage multiple maintained around 5.2x, and the margin utilization rate approaching 80%. The total funds in the account are approximately $1.435 million, with an annual investment return rate of 68.15%, and a profit of $380,000 in the past month. This high-leverage, high-yield trading style clearly aims to amplify returns through the volatility of the precious metals market.

This whale really knows how to play with precious metals. They bought and sold for $194,000, and now they've come back again. Confidence in Silver is sky-high!

Damn, it's this whale again. The precious metals fanatic is truly persistent, daring to play with 5x leverage. The guts are really big.

This whale is really confident in precious metals. They're not afraid to go in with 5x leverage. I think silver prices will rise later.

This guy is really a die-hard fan of precious metals, frequently buying and selling just to profit from the spread. He even dares to play with 5x leverage...
