【链文】还记得10月11日那次闪崩吗？那个开空捞了一笔的神秘巨鲸，最近又有大动作了。

7小时内，这位老哥的ETH多单持仓像过山车——先是疯狂加到85,001枚，紧接着突然砍到80,094枚，最后稳定在80,985枚ETH左右。算下来，相比操作前的7万枚，直接增持了超过1万枚。

按现在的价格看，这笔仓位市值大约2.69亿美元。平均建仓成本在3108美元附近，账面已经浮盈1740万刀。

这种级别的资金进出，背后是嗅到什么信号了？还是单纯的波段操作？市场似乎给不出明确答案，但这种体量的筹码调动，值得持续关注。

What exactly is this whale betting on? Switching from short to long so quickly... $17.4 million in unrealized profit suggests they really caught the bottom, but the timing is kind of strange. It's this person again—last time, they caught the falling knife during the flash crash, and now they're buying the dip? Feels like they're accumulating chips for the next big move; otherwise, there’s no need for all this action. This guy either has top-tier instincts or is just gambling on market sentiment. Retail investors like us can only follow the trend. Added 10,000 coins in 7 hours, that's really aggressive. Is there inside information, or is it just luck? Wait, this position size... if it goes the other way, it'll be a disaster.

This whale is really playing with fire, swinging 10,000 ETH up and down in just 7 hours... I even took my pants off and this is what you give me? --- Damn, that's an unrealized profit of $17.4 million. That number is more than the loose change in my yearly salary. --- Is this another wave-trading move or does he have inside info? As a small retail investor, I really can't figure out these whales' tricks. --- I lost two months' salary in that flash crash in October, while this guy just keeps counting money... The world is really unfair. --- With a cost basis of $3,108, he's just sitting and waiting for it to moon. My damn cost is almost $5,000. --- Moving that much volume around, there’s definitely a story behind it. Retail investors are always left in the dust. --- One person can move so much ETH in 7 hours, while I’d have to save for a lifetime.

This whale was celebrating shorts just a second ago, and now he's started accumulating chips again—truly someone who plays both sides. Added 10,000 tokens in 7 hours? That's not swing trading, that's betting on a certain signal. With over 17 million in unrealized profits and still not cashing out, this guy is really betting on the next market move.

This whale is playing so intensely, a 7-hour roller coaster ride... I just want to know if they really see through something or if it’s all pure luck? I didn’t bottom fish on the flash crash day, so now I can only watch others counting their money. Wow, $17.4 million in unrealized gains—that’s the power of capital. Here we go again, every time this whale makes a move, my blood pressure rises. Copying its trades in reverse just leads to losses. Bro, their cost basis on this round was only 3,108? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have panic sold in October. So is this bottom-fishing or a bull trap? Honestly, I can’t figure out what’s going on in the whale’s head. Accumulating another 10,000 ETH like it’s nothing, I’d have to grind forever to earn that kind of unrealized profit. This is what asymmetric information looks like—we can never keep up with their pace.

This whale is acting strange. Just made a killing on shorts, then immediately switched to longs... Did they sense something in the market? --- $17.4 million unrealized profit, I really should just call it a night. --- 7-hour roller coaster, this trading style is intense—either a genius or a fool. --- $269 million in positions moving in and out so casually, we retail investors really can’t comprehend it. --- If you ask me, I don’t know, but following the big whale can’t be wrong, right? --- Gotta keep a close eye on this guy to see when he makes his next move. --- Switching from short to long this quickly, there must be something we don’t know.

This whale is really playing with fire, tossing around like this in just 7 hours... Switching from short to long, the timing is interesting, but I still have to ask: did they really sense a signal, or are they just taking advantage of our panic selling? $17.4 million in unrealized profit sounds great, but what if this guy flips short again later... With this size of position, is an institution testing the bottom or laying a trap? Honestly, it's hard to tell.
