Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】On-chain data shows that a significant large transaction worth noting occurred within the past seven hours. A whale wallet marked as 0x94d3 has been very active—first selling 255 Bitcoins at an average price of $85,378, cashing out $21.77 million. Just after reducing their position, they immediately switched to shorting. This whale did not play it safe; instead, they deployed a 10x leverage, opening short positions of 876.27 Bitcoins (worth $76.3 million) and 372.78 Ethereum (worth $1.1 million).

From selling to shorting, the entire operation logic is quite clear—whale first takes profits and then turns bearish on the market. This shift from spot reduction to high-leverage shorting usually indicates that large investors’ outlook on the market has changed or they are trying to amplify gains through derivatives. Regardless of the reason, such massive position movements are enough to stir market sentiment.

No, this Whale is serious, using 10x leverage to go all in, really bold to play.

Selling to cash out and still wanting to short with 10x leverage? This Whale really seems to be bearish, feeling a bit anxious.

ngl the whole 10x leverage move screams either genius or catastrophic liquidation waiting to happen... insufficient on-chain validation to confirm if this whale actually knows what they're doing or just gambling with borrowed money. statistically improbable they nail the timing perfectly, but technically speaking that's exactly the kind of attack vector markets look for before dumping hard.

This whale is playing a bit aggressively, going all-in with 10x leverage. I'll still play it safe and slowly accumulate the bottom.

This whale is playing a bit aggressively, taking profits first and then shorting... It's really betting on a market crash later.
