On-chain monitoring data today captured an interesting move. An address labeled "Pension Whale" (pension-usdt.eth) made a significant adjustment to its ETH short positions between 16:32 and 16:41—reducing 2,083 ETH in a single transaction, worth approximately $6.51 million.
After this operation, the address's short position size has noticeably decreased. As of now, the remaining short position is valued at $2.91 million, with an unrealized profit of about $10,600. Interestingly, this is not a complete liquidation—the on-chain data also shows that the address has an open short order of approximately $377,000 that has not yet been filled.
Recently, ETH has experienced considerable volatility, and such large position adjustments often attract market attention. Especially for a typically cautious address like this "Pension Whale," a sudden reduction in shorts has led to two interpretations: one views it as a typical profit-taking move, while the other sees it as an early positioning for a potential short-term trend reversal.
However, based on on-chain data, the remaining positions plus the unfilled order are still in place, indicating that the whale has not fully exited. The next moves will likely depend on further on-chain data developments.

The pension whale's recent reduction in holdings is quite interesting. They scooped up $6.51 million just like that, and there might really be a rebound coming.

The pension whale's move feels like testing the market bottom. Instead of fully liquidating, they're placing orders and waiting. This rhythm is quite interesting.

Are the pension whale also starting to panic? Dropped $6.51 million all at once, this pace doesn't seem right.

The pension whale played this hand quite cleverly, reducing positions but not clearing them, clearly betting on a rebound.

Pension whale investors are starting to reduce their positions, feeling that ETH might really rebound this time.

The pension whale's move is interesting. Suddenly reducing short positions by $6.51 million—are they trying to bottom fish or are they panicking?

The pension whale's move seems to be testing the bottom... Cutting off 6.51 million USD in one go, but still keeping an order of 370,000, isn't this a psychological game?
