Trump's Statement One Hour Before Short Position Increase: An Address with $21 Million Scale 'Long Oil, Short Nasdaq' Position Makes Significant Profit



BlockBeats News, July 8 - According to Hyperinsight monitoring, the address had already deployed a 20x leveraged long position on Brent crude oil two days prior. Then, about one hour before Trump's Middle East statement ignited the market, it significantly increased its position by opening a 30x leveraged short on Nasdaq 100, completing the final setup. Subsequently, oil prices surged and risk assets came under pressure, with both sides realizing floating profits simultaneously.

As of press time, the two high-leverage positions of this address have a combined floating profit of approximately $510k. The return rate on the Brent crude oil long position is 189%, and the return rate on the Nasdaq 100 short position is 37%. The position opening times are as follows:
- July 6 afternoon: Opened a 20x leveraged long position on Brent crude oil (BRENTOIL).
- July 7 evening: Began to open a base position of Nasdaq 100 mapped contract (XYZ100) with 30x leverage, approximately 200 units.
- This afternoon (about one hour before the statement): Significantly increased the short position, pushing the XYZ100 short to 600 units, worth approximately $510k, completing the layout just before the news broke.

On the news front, Trump's latest statement indicated that the arrangements related to the temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran may have ended, and the market has repriced the Middle East geopolitical risk premium. According to reports, crude oil futures once jumped about 5% after the statement.

Current core positions:
- Brent crude oil (BRENTOIL) long: Holding 50,000 units, worth approximately $17.3M, average price $71.8645, liquidation price $37.26, floating profit approximately $322k.
