A wallet with an impressive track record recently established a significant $85M short position in advance of an upcoming Federal Reserve announcement. This trader has generated over $25M in profits from previous trades, drawing attention from market participants monitoring whale-level positions. The timing of such large bearish bets ahead of major macroeconomic events often signals sophisticated market positioning. As the Fed's statement approaches, traders are closely watching how this major holder's moves might influence broader market sentiment and volatility in crypto markets.

Damn, what is this whale doing? Preemptively shorted 85 million... Are they about to cut our leeks again?

85M short, 25M profit... This guy's backtest data probably outperforms 99% of quantitative teams. Putting such a big bet the night before the Fed isn't just gambling—it's true understanding of on-chain data. I bet he understands, but my account is betting the opposite direction [dog head]

Whoa, big whale, are you planning to cause trouble? $85M short... This guy is really betting that the Fed will dump the market. He's got guts. He made $25M before and still dares to push? Let's wait and see what the Fed says. The market is going to explode then.

Seeing the movement of this big whale's chips, the pattern is already formed. An 85M short position has been pushed in, just waiting to see what the Fed says. The probabilistic strategy is all about this idea.

On the night before the big whales dump, even I want to follow the trend and short.

Whales are causing trouble again; it looks like this wave of Fed will drop.

Damn, 85 million short positions. This guy really dares to gamble. --- The big players are playing psychological warfare again; a word from the Fed can make the market crash. --- 25 million in profit? That’s why they can always buy the dip and sell the top. --- Waiting to see the Fed dump, but it feels like these short positions might also be trapped. --- Building positions so early, is it really insider information or just trying to create panic? --- Every move of the top wallet is being exposed; privacy is truly gone. --- Talking about sophisticated positioning, isn’t it just betting on policy?
