A major trader who banked $24.5M in profits has completely reversed course. After going long, they've now shifted to aggressive 20× short positions with substantial capital deployment:

- 464.28 BTC ($44.1M) short
- 6,606.66 ETH ($22M) short
- 54,281 SOL ($7.8M) short

This represents a total of 255 BTC sold from their previous position, now leveraging into bearish bets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana simultaneously. The move signals a significant directional conviction change at the whale level—worth monitoring as these large liquidations can create cascading effects on market structure.

BTC-0.35%

ETH-0.49%

SOL-1.07%

imagine if this whale just realized they can't actually time the market... well technically speaking, they just went from "this is fine" to "burn it all down" in record time. 255 btc flip? that's the kind of conviction change that gets people liquidated lol. fun fact: these cascading effects they mention? that's basically just fancy talk for "domino go brrr"

Oh wow, Big Fish has turned around. This time going all in on a short position? Making 24 million isn't enough, they have to do something more exciting...
