Recently, there has been an interesting development — the whale claiming to hold $11 billion worth of Bitcoin has started to re-enter the market. This guy gained fame last year for precisely bottom-fishing, and now he's making a move again, heavily betting on price increases on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.



Specifically, the whale first cashed out $330 million worth of Ethereum, then opened three leveraged long positions with a total size of $748 million. The most aggressive is the Ethereum long position, with a scale of $599 million, an average entry price of $3,147. If Ethereum falls below $2,143, this position will be liquidated — the risk factor is quite high.

Interestingly, this position is currently at a floating loss, with a loss of about $49 million. Normally, most people might choose to cut losses, but this whale clearly didn't. From his trading logic, he's actively positioning for a short-term rebound in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. After all, someone holding such a large position often indicates confidence in the market’s subsequent trend.

In comparison, smart money traders are still net shorting these mainstream tokens, creating an interesting contrast. Whether retail investors' pessimistic outlook will outweigh this whale’s optimistic layout, or whether large funds can ultimately turn the tide, may take a few weeks to verify. But based on historical performance, this whale’s market intuition remains quite sharp.

$49 million unrealized loss not cut? This guy is truly a player from another dimension, I, an ordinary person, can only look up in awe. Based on my quantitative model analysis, the logic behind this move is essentially betting on the formation of a bottoming pattern, a typical large capital probing stance. Historical data is right here. This whale's accuracy last year indeed shocked me, but a risk warning—$748 million leveraged position, an extreme fluctuation could be catastrophic. Wait, he cashes out Ethereum and then goes long on Ethereum again? Isn't that just T+ trading? Market cycle theory tells us this often happens at the bottom confirmation... Retail investors remain pessimistic, institutions are getting in. With these two forces opposing each other, I want to see who will laugh last. Is it going to play out like the 2017 script again? But this time, the market structure is definitely different.

Here it comes again, this guy is really the pillar of our circle. With such a fierce move this time, daring to bear a floating loss of 49 million USD, I think he's really confident that it will rebound. Someone holding 11 billion USD is playing differently. Retail investors are still debating whether to cut losses, while he's already eyeing the next wave. The liquidation line is only at 2143. Looking at this risk awareness... I really can't learn it. History speaks for itself; this guy's intuition is indeed exceptional. But if this turns into a crash, the topic will blow up again. Let's wait and see how it unfolds later. The answer will be clear in a few weeks.

Leverage again and again, this guy is really bold—still holding on with a $49 million unrealized loss? --- I don’t understand this move, but I’ve already cut my losses and exited. --- Wait, is this really a comeback or just another genius trap? History doesn’t count for anything. --- Retail investors shorting, big players going long—are they just opposing each other? Let’s see who goes bankrupt first. --- Holding on until forced liquidation—that’s supposed to be confidence? I think it’s gambler’s mentality. --- Interesting, but I feel a bit skeptical about the 110 billion Bitcoin figure. --- If this guy manages to buy the dip again, I’ll really be impressed, but I bet he crashes this time. --- Over 500 million in longs—basically just a plunge in the market. --- Everyone’s shorting him, but he dares to go against the trend—either a genius or a lunatic. --- No stop-loss and still holding on—this kind of mindset I can’t learn.

It's this guy again, waiting to see if he can hit the mark precisely this time. Holding onto a floating loss of 50 million USD? That's some crazy mentality, he's really betting it all. Short-term rebound positioning? Feels like this guy is going against smart money. Wait a minute, if Ethereum drops below 2143, forced liquidation will happen. The risk threshold is set way too tight. How has the historical performance been? If it turns around again this time, retail investors will be crying again.

Bro, I know this trick well, starting to go all-in again... Not caring about the floating loss of 49 million, he really has something. This time I choose to follow his lead, anyway, his intuition is definitely much better than retail investors.
