【Blockchain Rhythm】Last night, a major move by a whale drew attention. This whale, (0x94d37), once the largest BTC short player on Hyperliquid, turned around after taking profits on previous BTC shorts and went long. This short position earned him a substantial profit—$1.705 million.

Immediately after taking profits, he reversed his position and used 15x leverage to go long on BTC, holding a total of 1510.89 BTC, approximately $137 million. The entry price was $90,631, and he is currently floating with a profit of $666,000.

Not just BTC. At the same time, this whale also opened high-leverage long positions on 9 altcoins, with a total unrealized profit of $1.003 million. It seems he is quite optimistic about the market outlook.

Shorts turning into longs? This whale must have caught a whiff of something. 1.7 million as pocket money, and turning around to a long position of 1510 BTC—really bold.

Shorts turn into longs, this whale's sense of smell is really sharp This rhythm is definitely a signal that it's about to take off 1510 BTC and 9 other coins, it feels like an all-in on the future market 170,000 short position profits instantly invested, that's pretty aggressive But such counter-move operations... the risk is indeed high

Short squeeze reversal? This whale's sense of smell is really incredible. Taking profit at $1.7 million and then going all-in on 1,510 BTC. As a small retail investor, I can only watch helplessly.

Shorts got greedy and turned long. This whale really dares to play around, going all-in with 1510 BTC. I just want to ask, what to do if it drops afterward?

This whale is really bold. The short sellers made a killing and then immediately went long with 15x leverage. It really made me laugh.

Short position take profit of 1.7 million, then immediately reversed to 15x leverage long. Is this whale really sensing the market trend, or does the capital just want to play a reverse move?
