A major trader just closed out a $1.04M position on BTC longs, then immediately rotated into a 2× short covering 25,000 ETH—roughly $73M in notional exposure.

What's turning heads? This whale has run the board since early December, posting 12 consecutive winning trades. The cumulative take: over $25.8M in profits.

The pattern here shows rapid conviction shifts—Bitcoin longs one moment, heavy Ethereum shorts the next. For traders watching whale movements, these directional pivots often signal broader market sentiment turning. Whether this momentum holds through the week remains to be seen.

BTC0,52%

Damn, this whale's 12 consecutive wins with 25.8 million? Why am I still losing? --- Shorts turning into longs and then back to shorts, this guy is really betting on market sentiment. --- Wait, 25,000 ETH directly smashing the shorts, such a move... I gotta follow. --- Since December, I've been making money, this luck is just too crazy. --- Honestly, the whale's shifts can indeed reveal some clues, but I still need to judge for myself. --- 104 million USD longs closed, then going short on 73M ETH, this rhythm is truly perfect. --- Winning 12 in a row, this guy isn't gambling, he's doing scientific madness.

Damn, this whale is really just bouncing between bottom and top, flipping back and forth. Winning 12 rounds in a row and still daring to play like this, I'm honestly a bit scared now.

Damn, is it this whale again? 12 consecutive wins worth 25.8 million dollars, bro is already taking off. --- From BTC long to ETH short in seconds, this rhythm... Is the market about to change? --- Wait, is this guy serious? Reversing so quickly? I feel like I'm about to get crushed. --- Winning 12 times in a row and getting cocky, can he really keep it up next time? Let's gamble and see. --- Amazing, this is the real front-runner, us retail investors can only watch in vain. --- Such a quick change of conviction, it indicates that inside information is flying everywhere, or is this guy just a pure gambler? --- 25.8 million, enough to buy how many of my monthly salaries... Feeling a bit emo. --- Whale turning short on ETH, then why should I still hold a long? Gotta follow the trend.

Wow, this whale is really incredible. Making a profit of 25.8 million so easily... Should I reflect on my own trading strategy?

Damn this whale won 12 consecutive rounds, I need to copy their strategy --- Another shift in belief, is the short seller coming? I really can't understand the thinking of these big players --- 25.8 million? Earning so much in a month, and I'm still struggling here --- Both longs and shorts are making money, this is what a real trader looks like. I'm just wasting my life --- Wait, how did this guy keep winning? Did he activate some cheat or something? --- Getting anxious, the whale is about to dump the market --- Tsk tsk tsk, small investors should follow the trend. We can't compare our brains to theirs --- Can it last until this week? Ha, I think it will collapse this week

Whoa, this whale won 12 consecutive rounds? $25.8 million? I need to take a serious look at this move... But to be honest, there are too many people blindly shorting ETH now. Be careful not to become the next bagholder.
