A significant trading story unfolded over 48 hours. One major BTC trader—known for consistently shorting—flipped strategy and went heavy on longs, accumulating around $800 million in positions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
Then the market tanked.
Within 24 hours, the position was down $30 million. The timing raises eyebrows: just as the shorts were being converted to longs, selling pressure hit hard. Whether this was coordinated liquidation activity or pure market timing remains unclear. Either way, it's a reminder of how quickly whale moves can swing—especially when sentiment shifts fast in crypto markets.

This whale is probably being hunted; losing 30 million is like playing around.

This whale is too unlucky, losing 30 million directly from 800 million? I knew there was definitely something fishy when the short suddenly turned into a long.

lmao this recipe just got burned before it even hit the pan. dude went all-in on the long seasoning and market said "nah" 30mil down in a day... that's not market timing, that's just raw ingredients hitting a cold stove fr

800 million position loses 30 million in one day, this is just too extreme... feels like being targeted.

Haha, is this guy really here to give away money? Investing 800 million and losing 30 million in 24 hours—this move is absolutely brilliant.

Wow, over 800 million longs just started and already lost 30 million? The timing is really incredible.

Ha, it's the same old trick again. When the bears suddenly turn bullish, it crashes. It's really a bit hopeless.
