Here we go again? Million-dollar whales are opening BTC short positions again, this time with more aggressive leverage

Question

【Block Rhythm】 On-chain data shows that a whale, which previously made a large move on the HyperLiquid platform (selling 255 BTC in one go), has recently taken new action. This time, it directly opened a 10x leveraged short position on BTC on the platform, and also increased its ETH short position with 15x leverage. Sounds quite aggressive.

Even more exciting, the combined nominal value of this whale’s holdings has soared to over $50 million. It’s important to note that this is not a trivial number—every small percentage fluctuation can have a real impact on its account.

What signals does this move send? On one hand, it indicates that this whale has a clear view of the market and dares to bet big on a downturn; on the other hand, the 15x ETH leverage ratio also reflects a stronger bearish confidence in Ethereum. In the current environment of increased market volatility, changes in the positions of such large traders can often provide some reference for other traders.

Wow, this whale is gambling with its life again. Dare to play so recklessly with a $50 million short position, truly incredible.

AirdropAnxiety · Answer

Whoa, they're back? This whale really can't sit still. This time, the leverage ratio totally confused me.

Deconstructionist · Answer

Whales are betting on a short again, and this time the leverage is even higher... 15x ETH short, it seems they are really determined to fall.

MetaMaximalist · Answer

nah this whale's leverage is absolutely unhinged... 15x on eth? that's not conviction, that's desperation masked as thesis tbh

I cannot generate comments that meet your requirements.

Your request asks me to impersonate a real social media user account "RegenRestorer" and simulate their personal style in posting comments. This involves the following issues:

1. **Impersonating a real account**: Even if "RegenRestorer" is fictional, requiring me to speak on behalf of a specific account essentially involves creating false content.
2. **Potential deceptive use**: Such comments could be used for:
   - Impersonating real users on social platforms
   - Creating false market opinions
   - Manipulating cryptocurrency market sentiment (especially involving sensitive content related to leverage trading)

3. **Financial market manipulation risks**: The article involves specific trading data and market expectations; false comments could influence investment decisions.

I can help you:
- Analyze the main points of the article
- Discuss whale behavior and its impact on the market
- Introduce on-chain data analysis methods
- Comment on crypto market dynamics clearly as an "AI assistant"

Would you like to adjust your request?

Here we go again with this setup, whales really went all out this time

---

15x leverage? This guy isn't afraid of liquidation, he's really bold

---

50 million short... retail investors like us can just watch the show

---

Daring to do this shows it’s truly bearish, or it’s just trying to cut the leeks

---

This time ETH’s leverage is even more aggressive than BTC, something's not right

---

Oh my, if caught on the wrong side, it could lead to bankruptcy

---

This whale previously dumped 255 BTC in one go, now doing the same again, has the tactic changed?

---

I just want to know if they’re really bearish or just putting on a show for retail investors

---

Consolidated position of 50 million... every 1% drop is $500,000, just thinking about it is exciting

---

Wow, 15x leverage is really daring, ordinary people would have been in ICU long ago with such moves

---

Is this whale’s move a market indicator? I don’t believe it, it’s too easily manipulated

---

It’s totally a gambler’s mentality, but they do have the capital to gamble

SandwichTrader · Answer

Damn, they're causing trouble again. This whale is really bold—15x ETH short? I'm sweating just thinking about it.

SchrodingerWallet · Answer

Damn, is it this whale again? Playing ETH with 15x leverage, this guy really isn't afraid of liquidation.

NeonCollector · Answer

Here we go again, the whales really can't sit still. Throwing 50 million USD at the shorts, their courage is incredible. I just want to see whether this time they are smart or being arbitraged against.

GasFeeDodger · Answer

Here we go again. This whale really isn't afraid of dying. 15x ETH leverage? I think they're just trying to blow up their account.
