【ChainWen】A big fish is stirring up splashes on the chain.

According to Hyperbot tracking data, over the past 18 hours, a mysterious wallet has been frequently adding and reducing positions. Currently, the total holdings controlled by this address have expanded to $309 million, with a paper profit of $400,000. Even more astonishing, this whale has achieved a total profit of $4.34 million in the past 7 days—such a rapid profit-making pace is indeed eye-catching.

Looking back at the account history, this wallet is a new player that started building positions in December last year. The total funds in the account are approximately $31.1 million. In the early stages of building the position, it mainly focused on short positions in mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, once becoming the largest on-chain BTC short seller. But now, the trend has shifted—the latest holdings include long positions in BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP.

This reversal from a short to a long indicates that this player is betting on a market rally. Now, it remains to be seen whether the upcoming market trend can support this position of over $300 million.

Wait a minute, has this whale really been transferring more? It feels like the market trend is about to change.

I'm really on fire today. While whales are making 400,000, I, an 18-hour trader, can lose the down payment of a house.

Big whales are really making a killing, earning 4.34 million in 18 hours. My monthly salary hasn't even matched what they make in a second.

This whale is really ruthless; a short squeeze turning into a long position is just a combo punch.

Another whale movement has caught my attention. A position of 309 million has been frequently interacting within 18 hours. There must be something behind this... From a long position to a short, the timing is just too accurate.

Whoa, did this whale transfer a lot? Are they just following the trend or do they really know what they're doing?
