**Whale's Emotional Rollercoaster: From $6M Gains to $7.8M Losses in Days**
A major ETH whale just experienced the crypto trading equivalent of a bad breakup.
This whale's journey: - Bought ETH at $10.11 (the absolute bottom) - Held for 34 days, watched unrealized gains hit $6M (~300% up) - Ranked #2 on Hyperliquid ETH longs - Then panic-switched to a short position - Closed the short with a $1.38M loss - Re-entered long at $3,432 with a $660k unrealized loss
**Total damage in recent moves: $7.8M lost**
The pattern is classic: hodl through euphoria → flip bearish at the wrong time → FOMO back in at the top. This whale went from "diamond hands" legend to chasing losses in real time.
Chain monitoring shows the address now holds $43.74M in ETH inventory. Whether this is conviction or just averaging down remains the question everyone's watching.
