Don't remind me again today

Just finished reviewing the on-chain data, and I can't sit still – multiple Whale accounts have appeared on a certain trading platform engaging in "death spiral" with ETH, with the most outrageous single unrealized loss exceeding 21 million USD. Even stranger, the hourly Candlestick has already broken through the support level, but the MACD is brewing a golden cross pattern at the bottom... Is this wave a bull trap or is there really a buy the dip opportunity?



**First, let's see how the Whale plays.**
Last night, an account was liquidated for 1.25 million USD, almost getting wiped out. As a result, today they quickly deposited funds to increase their position - this operation is either based on some kind of signal or purely a gambler's mentality.

Another outrageous "star bull", with an average ETH position price of 3201, is now facing unrealized losses that have skyrocketed to 217%. Normally, he should have stopped out by now, but he stubbornly continues to hold on, and he is the largest bull position holder on the platform. If this big player really can't hold on and has to cut losses, could it trigger a chain reaction of liquidations?

But here comes the interesting part – there is a major short position on ZEC that is taking profits in batches, having realized over 15 million in a week. The long and short sides are experiencing vastly different conditions, and the market's sensitivity to funds is sharper than we imagine.

**The technical aspect hides two critical lines**
Staring at the one-hour chart for a long time, I found two key price levels:
- **2900**: Intraday rebound resistance level, the first test for short-term bulls.
- **3000**: Moving average retracement pressure + Whale liquidation concentration area, breaking through here is considered a true trend reversal.

The current question is: With the Whale suffering such losses and still adding to their positions, are they buying the dip or catching a falling knife? When retail investors follow in at this time, are they picking up bargains or becoming cannon fodder? Technical indicators are starting to turn, but market sentiment has not fully recovered...

The operations of the Whale this time are really amazing, losing 21 million but still daring to increase the position, either a deity or a madman. With 217% unrealized losses still holding on, they must have a very optimistic view on the market... or they are truly gamblers. If we can't break through the 3000 barrier, it's all just a dream. I'll just wait and see. The ZEC short positions made 15 million in a week, why don't I have that kind of instinct? Is the MACD golden cross pattern real or a sickle? We'll have to see tonight's trend. I wouldn't dare to bet on the retail investors catching a falling knife with the Whale. 2900 rebound pressure, it seems that the indicators are about to diverge after this wave.

Whales are holding on with a 217% unrealized loss while still increasing their position. Is this guy really seeing signals or just a gambler getting carried away? I'm getting more and more confused. --- Daring to increase the position with a 217% unrealized loss? This isn't buying the dip; this is dancing on the death line. --- Damn, if a crash really happens, we retail investors better hold our ground and not get washed up on the beach. --- ZEC shorts have pocketed 15 million in a week, while longs are fighting for survival here. That disparity... --- About the 2900 and 3000 lines, to be honest, I have no clue; who knows if they'll just break through. --- Looking at the MACD golden cross pattern and the K-line breaking out, I just want to ask - is this a trap or a pie? --- Since whales are holding on like this, are we retail investors really picking up bargains by following suit? Haha. --- Indicators are shifting, but the sentiment hasn't improved... I'm feeling a bit carried away with this market move. --- After consecutively getting liquidated 1.25 million yet quickly increasing the position, I really don't understand this move, but it feels like there's something to it. --- If a crash really occurs, I need to keep a close watch on my position.
