Is the pension whale's position reduction a fake move? ETH's biggest short made a round trip in 7 minutes and then added back, with position surging to $77.46 million! "Smart money never plays fair with retail investors."



At 11:30 AM today, ETH's biggest short, "pension-usdt.eth", just reduced 9,119 ETH worth $13.96 million. Before anyone could react, 7 minutes later, it added them back—same amount, worth $14.1 million, and the position directly surged to $77.46 million.

This isn't "running away," this is "flexing."

What does Anna think?

Reducing the position was to lock in profits, but the price didn't drop to its target, or it felt the drop wasn't deep enough—so it reversed and added back, even more aggressively. Comparing the $13.96 million at reduction and $14.1 million at addition, the cost is slightly higher, showing it's willing to lose a bit on the spread to cover its shorts, and its bearish conviction remains unchanged.

This back-and-forth is exactly like a "feint": first pretending to retreat, forcing copycat shorts out and luring longs in, then rebuilding the position—an old trick.

What should ordinary players do?

The whale's position hit a new high, indicating the downtrend isn't over and the short bias remains. If you want to buy the dip, don't rush—wait for settlement. If you want to short, wait for a bounce before entering. Anna has already marked the specific entry points.
