Even more astonishing, it currently has 100 buy orders in the $2960 to $2980 range, totaling about $11 million, showing strong confidence in this price level.

Tracing back the operations of this address. Earlier, it deposited $5.106 million into an exchange, then opened a $36.27 million BTC long position, while also placing $36.87 million in ETH, SOL, and AVAX short positions. The long and short positions are roughly balanced, with the entire account reaching a total position size of $73.15 million.

ngl the grid buying pattern here screams psychological warfare... 100 orders at that level? that's not confidence that's *positioning*. been watching this 0x61c since mt gox days and this smells like they're testing liquidity before the real move

Laughing out loud, this guy is playing "I'll set the market price," right? Using 20x leverage to place a 11 million dollar order, is he going long or betting that Xu Xiaoping will call the shots in the afternoon? Long and short hedging over 70 million, this is the real "want both," while us retail investors can only "want neither nor."

This whale is playing hard, with a $9 million ETH long position multiplied by 20 times, and still dares to place a $11 million buy order. The mental resilience is incredible.
