【Blockchain Rhythm】At 12:16 PM today, a large transaction just surfaced. A major whale address has established a nice short position—950 ETH, entry price approximately $3011.7, with a total value of $2.86 million.

Interestingly, this guy used 3x leverage. The position is still held, maintaining a scale of 950 ETH, with the account value fluctuating around $2.87 million. Currently, the unrealized loss is $6,433, with a liquidation line set at $4,074.

From the operation perspective, this is a clear bearish signal. The size of 950 ETH is significant in the current market, and the appearance of leveraged shorts often attracts follow-up funds. In the next few days, the movement of this position is worth watching—whether it is to close the position to cut losses or to add more, both could become market turning points.

Whale's move is really ruthless, 950 ETH directly 3x short leverage. Is this really bearish or just fishing? Hmm, this liquidation line at 4074... if it rebounds, it's going to be risky. Seems like throwing a tantrum. Attention to those copying trades, large traders often cut the grass in the opposite direction. Do you believe it or not? 950 coins, this volume can really shake the market. Stay alert in the next few days. Another short position, another leverage. Typical high-risk, high-reward operation. This guy is a true crypto gambler. Floating loss of $6,433 and still holding. Either confident or already in a tough spot. If this move gets washed out in the opposite direction... hilarious. How much would it take to break even?

950 short positions, 3x leverage. This guy really dares to gamble. Liquidation line at 4074, currently with a floating loss of a few thousand. Now it depends on how long he can hold.

Whale 3x leverage short position? This guy's really bold. Let's see if ETH can drop below 4074, otherwise he's going to get wrecked. --- 950 short positions, liquidation line at 4074... feels a bit tight. A slight rebound and he's forced to cut losses. --- Another one shorting ETH, always like this, eventually turns around and pushes the market up. Can this time be different? --- 6400 yuan unrealized loss appearing in just a few minutes. Playing with 3x leverage is really painful... --- Waiting to see what happens next. If this whale keeps adding, it will explode. Anyway, I wouldn't dare to follow. --- Short position worth $2.86 million. The market is about to move like a Swiss Army knife, haha. --- Liquidation price only at 4074? Do they have to be so aggressive? I'm turning green with envy. --- I just want to know if these 950 positions will all be liquidated in the next rebound. That's funny. --- Another big player betting on a decline, but I think this time it's going to crash... --- 3x leverage short ETH. What are they betting on? Can it really drop that much?
