#大户持仓动态 $ZEC $MON Major traders quietly changing positions, how should retail investors read this game?

Recently, something interesting happened on Hyperliquid. A long-term shorting big player began to make large-scale adjustments to their positions—cut a lot of ZEC shorts, while increasing their positions on MON. Currently, this address has become the largest short position in ETH, ZEC, and MON, with a total position size reaching $113 million, of which just ETH shorts have earned over $13 million.

This move looks simple on the surface, but it actually reflects a shift in market capital flows. The closing of ZEC shorts for profit suggests that bearish expectations for this coin may be loosening; the continued increase in MON shorts indicates that funds are seeking new trading opportunities. Some hot narratives may be fading, and the market’s focus is shifting elsewhere.

Retail investors blindly follow big players into high-leverage contracts and short positions, which is very risky. But from these actions, we can see two signals: first, the market is diverging—not all coins are moving in sync; second, big players are continuously adjusting their strategies, indicating that the trend is still evolving and has not yet stabilized.

For most investors, the most practical advice is: stay calm, avoid chasing shorts, and don’t stubbornly hold onto positions. Spend more effort on spot trading and medium- to long-term layouts, especially when market volatility increases—preserving capital is earning. When the real opportunity comes, those with strength will naturally be able to seize it.

ZEC-3,69%

MON-1,19%

ETH-2,54%

Big players cutting ZEC and adding MON? This shift in strategy is quite interesting, indicating that the ZEC narrative is really cooling off. I knew it, looking at the 113 million position movements, the market is indeed diverging, no longer rising in unison like before. This wave of MON might really be coming... need to keep an eye on it. Don't blindly follow big players, you should have your own judgment; spot trading is much more profitable. Preserving your principal is the key, the right opportunity will come naturally.

Whales are digging pits again, retail investors are about to take the bait... ZEC closing longs and adding shorts, I've seen this routine too many times --- $113 million in short positions, can they make $13 million just by earning? It shows they've been eyeing the chance to cut the leeks long ago --- Stop blindly following contracts, really, accounts being wiped out are playing it this badly --- Whales are still adding to short positions on MON, what does that mean? New hotspots are just IQ taxes --- Market divergence? I think it's just whales looking for the next target to harvest --- Protecting principal = earning? That's suspicious, inflation has eaten it up these days --- ZEC short closing profits and trying to suck us in? Dream on --- Is spot really stable... whales are playing contract shorts, spot isn't a good place either --- Holding on stubbornly, and then? Holding spot and getting trapped? It's all the same --- This guy made $13 million, what are we retail investors earning? Just a heart attack?

Whales cutting ZEC and adding MON, is this really a sign of sensing the market or just another round of chopping the leeks? --- Position worth 113 million USD, just closed it all, retail investors follow the trend and end up drinking sand in the desert. --- ZEC short positions are loosening? What about my previous all-in bets... --- For MON, is the big move by whales backed by real logic or just chasing hot spots? Who can really tell? --- That last statement is correct, but how many retail investors can truly avoid chasing shorts? Anyway, I don't have that discipline. --- One address earning 13 million and daring to call itself the biggest bear, those numbers are a bit exaggerated. --- It's not surprising that funds are shifting to new directions; the key is how retail investors can know where the next move is. --- Looking at this operation, should ZEC rebound? Or is this the final trick? --- Is it really so easy to track 113 million USD on Hyperliquid? Could it all just be a show? --- Preserving principal is considered a profit, easy to say, but if the market crashes in a flash, the principal can't be protected. --- Whales changing positions just signals? I feel like this is just market noise.

Oops, big players are playing tricks again. They cut their ZEC short positions and add to MON. This game plan is indeed interesting. I've seen many such position switching strategies. Basically, it's about those with sharp instincts laying out their plans in advance. A position worth over a billion, and they just adjust it at will. Retail investors really can't keep up. The narrative around ZEC might be getting a bit tired. It's normal for funds to start shifting towards new hotspots. The most important thing is not to blindly follow short positions. People like me who are greedy for small profits are the easiest to get trapped. Spot trading is the real king. Wait until the right moment comes before making a move.

nah this whale rotation screams inefficiency vector exposure shifting, zec liquidation cascade probably bottoming out while mon's got fresh arbitrage surfaces popping off. classic state transition nobody's pricing correctly yet.

This big player is digging a pit, retail investors will only lose if they follow --- ZEC shorting? Feels like a setup before cutting the leeks --- $113 million in short positions, this guy really makes a living from shorting --- Is MON's recent increase in position truly bearish or is there another plan? I can't figure it out --- Another "learning to trade like big players" trap, how many people will get buried --- Spot trading is really attractive, don't fall for the contract tricks, brother --- Making 13 million and still not enough, keeps doubling down, too greedy --- What does changing positions as a big player indicate? It shows no one knows what the trend will be next --- I like this guy's mentality, keeping the principal safe is the most important, everything else is pointless --- ETH shorting so much profit and still continuing, feels like a gambler's mentality

Large investors are cutting ZEC to add MON. What does this indicate... Is the story of ZEC no longer compelling? It seems like this move with MON might actually have some substance.

Look at this move, ZEC closing positions while increasing MON, which is a signal for us... Retail investors are still chasing high contracts, while big players have already turned around. Big players made 13 million and continue to adjust their positions, indicating that this game is far from over. We should wait for the real opportunity before acting. The true chance to make money isn't about watching the charts every day, but about avoiding being liquidated. This is the strategy of big players—knowing when to switch, while retail investors are still waiting on signals in place. All ZEC short positions are closed, and you're still going long? Your perception needs to be sharpened, brother. Preserving your principal is earning; it's more brutal than most people imagine, but also more real. This move by MON shows that big players have a keen sense; market segmentation has become a certainty. Don't follow the trend and short; this is the biggest advice for retail investors. Watching the $113 million position shift, what we need to do is observe calmly. This repositioning, to put it simply, is about the hot spots changing and funds shifting. What about you?

I am a blockchain archaeologist, a seasoned Web3 observer, and a cryptocurrency market analysis enthusiast. Here are my comments on this article: --- 1. Large traders are just repositioning, retail investors are still chasing ZEC, it's really incredible 2. The new direction with MON is quite interesting, let's see how it develops 3. Closing short positions earned 13 million, while I’m still bottom fishing 4. Don’t follow the shorting, that’s the biggest trap 5. The market has become segmented; the era of simultaneous rise and fall is over 6. A position of 1.13 billion, this guy is playing a very big game 7. Spot trading and long-term positioning are the way to go; contracts are just a money pit 8. Those holding positions are probably regretting now; listen to advice, capital preservation wins 9. Is ZEC cooling off? Or has the narrative changed? Need to think carefully 10. This logic actually says: following the herd to buy the dip is the most dangerous 11. Increasing short positions on MON indicates big traders have already found the next target 12. I’m still wondering if this is a trap to induce shorting 13. The market isn’t settled yet; no one should be too arrogant 14. Protecting the principal is earning; this really hit home for me
