Recently, there have been several notable large orders in the market. A leading whale address has been very active over the past 5 hours, directly initiating a large-scale short position.

First, it sold 255 BTC, equivalent to $21.77 million in cash outflow, a scale sufficient to shake market sentiment. But that's not all. The same address also simultaneously opened a short position of 1,360 BTC (worth $119 million), clearly engaging in both long and short strategies.

On the Ethereum side, activity was also intense—36,281 ETH (about $106 million) were added to short positions. Even more extreme, Solana opened a short position of 348,215 SOL, with a scale of $43 million.

Overall, this whale has taken a clear bearish stance on major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and SOL, with total sales and short positions exceeding $200 million. Such concentrated actions by large traders often have a tangible impact on short-term market trends and are worth close monitoring by traders.

Is this whale trying to dump the market? Two hundred million USD in short positions... That's pretty aggressive. --- Wait, 255 BTC was sold for over 20 million USD, that move is really impressive. --- SOL's 3.48 million tokens... Are they planning to push the price down to the limit? --- Both BTC, ETH, and SOL—are they trying to short the entire market at the same time? --- Oh my god, looking at this scale, I doubt life itself. Is the short-term outlook bleak? --- One move by the whale causes the entire market to shake—that's the power of big players. --- Long and short positions? This guy isn't bearish; it feels like he's trying to hedge. --- A short position of two hundred million USD... I need to keep a close eye on my holdings. --- This level of operation looks professional—there's definitely something to it. --- Should I run away quickly or stay and eat the gains? This choice is a bit tough.

Why did this whale suddenly become so bearish? Do they know some insider information? Still deciding whether to follow or not, I'm torn... Here we go again, big players are dumping again, my long positions are about to be suppressed again and again A short position of 200 million? How low does it need to be dumped? Seems like there’s still hope later Something feels off, this rhythm doesn’t seem right, is this accumulation or is it really going to drop? Things are getting lively now, let’s wait and see how the short-term moves This whale’s move is incredible, us small investors can only watch and eat popcorn At times like this, it’s easiest to get caught on the wrong side. If you think differently, do short positions all get wiped out?

Wow, this whale is really about to dump the market, with a 200 million USD short position... feels like it's going to drop. It's the same old trick, when big players move, the whole market panics. I just want to know where the bottom is, can I catch it this time? Is it true? Over 300,000 short positions on SOL? That number is a bit scary. Wait, he also holds a long position in BTC? Is he hedging or really bearish? With such a large operation, isn't he afraid of a rebound from a dump? By the way, this is usually the best time to buy the dip. Looks like I need to prepare stop-loss orders; the market is about to turn. This is probably the prelude to big players collecting chips, right? I always feel there's a conspiracy.

Whales' short position deployment this time is really fierce, directly throwing down 200 million USD. We retail investors should just watch the show honestly. Why does it seem like this guy is always bottom fishing and shorting? BTC, ETH, SOL all at once. Are they really about to experience a big drop? Throwing out 255 BTC in one go, such a move... I could make a profit just by closing my eyes and buying. Why haven't I had this chance? The short position scale exceeds 2 billion. Either the whales are making a killing, or they are here to give us money. Should we bet? These whales must have some inside information, otherwise who would dare to play like this? It feels like the market is about to move. Damn it, why is it always others making big money while I am still losing? Just follow the trend and copy the work.

Here we go again, the big whale is selling off again, this time really aggressively. Oh my, over 200 million USD in short positions, is this trying to crash the market? But on the other hand, this guy is bearish on BTC, ETH, and SOL all at once. I just want to know what his secret weapon is. This rhythm feels off, it should drop in the short term.
