According to on-chain data monitoring, a whale recently staged a "profit first, then loss" play on ZEC. This trader first closed out their ZEC long position, pocketing a cool $3.2 million. Not long after, they seemed to find that not enough excitement, and turned around to open a ZEC short position — which only lasted an hour before they exited with a $1.6 million loss, directly wiping out 50% of their previous long profit.

What’s more heartbreaking is that this whale also suffered significant losses in Bitcoin trading, having already lost $7.7 million before. Including this ZEC operation, their total accumulated loss has now reached $5.56 million. Judging by this trading performance, it’s clear that not every big player can master the rhythm of the market.

ZEC-13,47%

BTC-1,39%

This whale is really outrageous. Made 3.2 million and still greedy, ended up losing 1.6 million in an hour... How inflated must this mindset be?

ngl, data suggests this whale's portfolio is exhibiting classic evolutionary dead-end behavior... blown 5.56m and still can't read the market signals? taxonomically speaking, that's a failed specimen right there

nah this is actually just peak whale behavior... statistically speaking, bigger bags don't mean better risk management. reminds me of UST in May when everyone thought size = skill lol

Made 3.2 million and then lost 1.6 million back; this brother is really spending money to buy excitement.

This whale probably has a problem with their brain—making a profit and then turning around to screw themselves?

This whale is probably just "trying out life," earning and then giving it away right after.

Haha, this whale must have water in its brain. Still greedy after making money, and as a result, gets hammered back into the ground. This is the price of greed, brothers. Losing 1.6 million in an hour, I have to work until the Earth is destroyed. The happiness of the wealthy is so simple and dull.
