A well-known trader's large position has once again changed. The ETH short position worth $106 million only held for 15 hours before declaring surrender and being forced to close out, resulting in a single-loss of $479,000. However, this trader offset losses in other directions — the long positions in BTC and SOL are currently in profit, and the overall loss in today's trading was kept at $49,000. From this case, it shows that large traders are quite decisive in executing stop-losses when facing rapid market reversals. It also reminds us that even whale-level traders with massive capital need to flexibly adjust their strategies during highly volatile market conditions.

ETH2.35%

BTC1.26%

SOL0.87%

Surrendered after just 15 hours, this wave of bears really couldn't hold on, but somehow I feel there's something not quite right?

15 hours to surrender, this whale isn't very impressive either --- Cutting losses decisively is a good thing, but this loss amount is really nothing to us retail investors --- Having a large amount of funds is an advantage; you can easily buy the dip and make a profit. As for us, we can only pray --- ETH short positions were easily broken through, indicating that the market is really a bit fierce this time --- It seems that even big players can't escape the market’s counterattack, huh --- A $49,000 loss can still be called controlled; I can't learn this kind of mindset --- Decisive stop-loss is correct, but the problem is you need to have that amount of funds first --- Longs are still profitable, but shorts should be cautious --- This trader’s portfolio configuration is interesting; they’re good at diversifying risk --- I would be satisfied if I could have this level of position fluctuation too

honestly, the game theoretical implications here are... let's call it sub-optimal at best. dude got liquidated on eth in what, 15 hours? that's not "decisive risk management," that's just path dependency biting back tbh

15 hours to give up, this ETH long is really fierce --- 479,000 loss, stopping out so quickly, no wonder it's a big player's mindset --- I wonder what's going on with this whale, BTC and SOL have recovered? Diversifying risk and playing it smoothly --- Damn, the short position only held for 15 hours, I, a small retail trader, would be lucky to hold for 15 days --- Basically, I was caught bottom-fishing and got caught flying, decisively admitting loss is also a skill --- That's why I'm always trapped, others can rely on longs to make up for losses, what about me? --- Controlling losses at 49,000 is already quite an achievement, if it were me, I would have gone all-in and doubled the position --- Sounds easy, but why is actual operation so difficult?
