A well-known investor has recently adjusted their ETH position within a short period. They are currently long 9,620 ETH with 25x leverage, with an unrealized profit of 1.07 million, indicating a bullish outlook on Ethereum's price movement. At the same time, they are also long on HYPE tokens with 10x leverage, currently with an unrealized loss of 194,000. This strategy demonstrates an attempt to diversify risk and also serves as a reference indicator of market sentiment.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting trading signal on January 15 — a well-known investor has been intensively adjusting their ETH positions in the past half hour.

Currently, they are long 9,620 ETH with 25x leverage, totaling approximately $32.03 million, with an average purchase price of $3,217.71, and unrealized profit has reached $1.07 million. This level of leverage is indeed aggressive, indicating they are still bullish on Ethereum’s short-term trend.

At the same time, they are also positioning in HYPE tokens — long 310,000 with 10x leverage, at an average price of $25.62, currently with an unrealized loss of $194,000. The two positions form a contrast: one is profitable, the other under pressure, which suggests some risk diversification.

The logic behind continuously reducing ETH long positions is worth pondering. Actions by such large investors are always a reference indicator for market sentiment.

ETH-0,43%

HYPE-2,69%

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy is really daring. A sudden crash directly brought it back to zero... HYPE is already at -194,000. Are they betting on tomorrow's narrative? That's a bit urgent. The actions of big players are indeed worth following, but I still can't quite handle the 25x operation. It's too exciting. Whales are so aggressive on ETH, it seems it won't drop much in the short term, at least the psychological price is still there. I don't quite understand what's happening on HYPE. Can it really turn around... I haven't figured out the logic of reducing positions, it feels like testing the support level. A 25x leverage floating profit of 1.07 million, paper wealth disappears in a second—that's the joy of crypto.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage? This guy really isn't afraid of death, a single pullback and he's liquidated. HYPE's unrealized losses are also becoming hard to bear; it seems big players are also betting on new coins. This wave of signals is worth paying attention to; we need to stay close.

yo that 25x leverage move is basically screaming "i know something you don't" energy... or just pure degen hours. the eth/hype split tho? classic hedging theater—can't tell if it's actual risk management or just alpha leak disguised as portfolio diversity ngl

This whale is a bit crazy, using 25x leverage to directly invest over 30 million in ETH. Isn't he afraid of liquidation? HYPE lost 190,000 and still dares to add more. Either he's very rich or he really has confidence. This rhythm doesn't seem right, making money and losing at the same time. Retail investors are sweating for him. ETH bulls are using such aggressive leverage. Do they know something we don't? I just want to know the real logic behind his reduction in position. It doesn't seem that simple.

Playing ETH with 25x leverage, this guy really isn't afraid of liquidation Whale's move is quite clever, ETH makes money while HYPE loses money, a typical case of playing both sides 107,000 floating profit suddenly dumped into HYPE, quite bold I can't quite understand this logic, is he bullish or just gambling The hype around HYPE is quite strong, even big players can't resist jumping in 25x leverage for this kind of player might really be standard operation Thinking about following the trend, but the risk is really hard to hold Why not just go all in on ETH, why make it so complicated I usually see the opposite in big players' counter-moves, sometimes it really pays off Is a reduction signal coming? Or just want to play the thrill HYPE is indeed difficult in the short term, if you're optimistic, this loss will eventually be recovered This kind of setup looks like playing both sides, smart or greedy?
