Whale movements today: Bulls cut losses and reduce positions, bears increase positions betting on a decline

【BlockBeats】According to on-chain monitoring data, there was a clear divergence in whale rebalancing activities during the daytime on January 7th (10:00-20:00).

On the bullish side, some are definitely happy while others are worried. A hardcore long player directly cut losses, with a BTC long position losing $1.689 million and a SOL long losing $163,000. It seems they have decided to accept the loss and exit.

However, some took the opportunity to aggressively attack—one whale made $96.67 million through ETH swing trading and then decided to switch to the futures market, directly using 20x leverage to go long 980 BTC, a position worth $90.87 million, showing a strong confidence in Bitcoin’s continued upward movement.

Another whale is quite interesting. They previously held a BTC long position for 53 days but ultimately cut losses, losing $588,000. After stopping out, they did not go long again but instead reversed and shorted 139.62 BTC (about $12.94 million) with 3x leverage. This contrarian move is definitely worth noting.

On the short side, one whale chose to take profits, closing a BTC short position with a profit of $128,000, and is now holding a flat position, observing the market.

The most eye-catching is the “Shanzhai Air Force Leader,” who significantly increased their BTC short position. Currently, their account has short positions accounting for 90% of assets, with a total asset scale of about $28 million. This is a very strong bearish signal.

Overall, longs are cutting losses while shorts are increasing, and the market sentiment seems to be tilting.

BTC-0,52%

SOL-2,88%

ETH-0,88%

Ha, it's another polarized market. Some people admit defeat and walk away, while others go all-in with 20x leverage. This is the crypto world. 20x leverage with a $90 million bet—truly incredible. It's make or break. The one who held for 53 days and still cut losses—what does that say? No one can win in this market. The bears are starting to add to their positions. This signal isn't very good. The guy who admitted defeat with a loss of 1.68 million—his mindset must be incredibly strong. If I lost like that, I would have already exited the scene.
