【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting things are happening. On January 20th at 13:47, a whale-level trade left its mark on the chain — closing a long position of 242 BTC, resulting in a direct loss of $1,042,000.

After stopping the loss, this trader did not choose to rest but immediately switched to another track. Currently, they are long on XYZ100 with 20x leverage, with an average entry price of $25,144.79. By the way, the XYZ100 asset is actually the on-chain version of the Nasdaq 100 Index futures, allowing traders to leverage the S&P Tech Index 24/7.

From the BTC long loss to the high-leverage long position on Nasdaq futures, this series of actions shows that major market players are still optimistic about the future of tech stocks.

A loss of 1.03 million directly going all-in with 20x leverage on the NASDAQ—this mindset is truly unmatched. You're either a genius or a lunatic.

Lost over one million and then turned around to use 20x leverage to go long. Is this a typical case of "losing your temper" or do you genuinely believe in tech stocks? It has a bit of a gambling vibe.

Lost 1.43 million but still dared to use 20x leverage, this guy is really a brave warrior, or perhaps a true gambler. Laughing and then crying, is this the daily routine of big traders? After stopping the loss, immediately go all-in on the Nasdaq. This move is like trading one fire pit for another. But on the other hand, selling BTC at a loss and turning to long tech stocks really shows the sharpness of big funds. The leverage multiplier is quite intense. Wait, 20x leverage on the Nasdaq? Is this trading or gambling? I really can't tell the difference.

1.04 million USD drops instantly, then turns around to a 20x Nasdaq. How strong must that mentality be... or how crazy?
