On January 8th, as Ethereum fell below the $3100 mark, a well-known whale wallet continued to reduce its position. According to on-chain data monitoring, this whale has closed a short position of Ethereum worth $64 million, successfully taking profits. Interestingly, it has not completely exited — it is still short 8,377.77 ETH with 3x leverage, equivalent to a position of approximately $26.14 million. This open short position currently has an unrealized profit of $150,000, indicating that this whale remains cautious about Ethereum's future prospects. The reduction of large short positions and adjustments in holdings often indirectly reflect the real-time judgment of major market players.

The whales have all left, and we're still here picking up the bag...

Whale's move is quite something, making 64 million and not withdrawing, but instead increasing leverage to continue shorting... Is this a lack of confidence in the future market or testing the bottom?

Whales are starting to run away, and we're still bottom-fishing. Truly a reverse genius...

Whales are starting to reduce their positions, which is sending us a signal... or are they trying to trap buyers again? I'm really not quite sure.

Whales are playing psychological tactics again, closing positions at 64 million USD and still leaving a 3x leveraged short position. Are they afraid that retail investors are going to buy the dip too aggressively?

Whale's move... collecting profits while still holding short positions, they're really afraid of ETH rebounding.

This move by the whales is quite interesting. They made 64 million and still haven't run? It seems they really think ETH still needs to drop.
