【Blockchain Rhythm】As Ethereum falls below the $3100 mark, on-chain active large holders like “pension-usdt.eth” are gradually closing their short positions. According to monitoring data, this whale has gradually taken profits on Ethereum short positions worth $64 million. However, it is worth noting that they are still maintaining an aggressive short strategy—shorting 8377.77 ETH with 3x leverage (equivalent to about $26.14 million), with floating gains reaching $150,000. This move reflects both profit-taking amid the market downturn and an ongoing bearish outlook by the whale.

This whale is really ruthless. They took profits at 64 million and still want to short more. It seems they are really confident that it will continue to fall.

This whale really dares to play, earning 64 million and still continuing to bet... If I had this kind of courage, I would be financially free already.

pension this guy is really ruthless, he dares to easily clear a short position of 64 million USD... and still keeps 3x leverage to continue pushing down, he simply doesn't believe ETH can rebound.

This wave of whales is truly incredible. They pocketed $64 million but still want to go all-in with 3x leverage... That's the difference between me and them. They can make money even when losing, while we end up losing when making profits.

This whale is really greedy. They've already taken 64 million, but they still want to keep buying the dip and shorting. Aren't they worried about causing a reverse dump?

This whale is really ruthless. Taking profit at 64 million USD and still daring to continue shorting with 3x leverage shows they are completely bearish on what's coming next.
