【Blockchain Rhythm】There’s an interesting on-chain trend worth paying attention to. A whale address starting with 0xfc66 has recently been making waves on the chain, establishing 18 positions in a row. This guy’s trading style is very clear—mainly taking short positions.

Looking at the holdings, this whale’s core assets are still cryptocurrencies, with 20x leveraged short positions in ETH, BTC, and SOL accounting for the majority. The combined size of these positions is approximately $45.64 million, with an unrealized profit of $1.3 million so far.

Interestingly, he has recently branched out into stock short positions. He holds a $560,000 short in TSLA with an average price of $437, currently with a 5% unrealized profit; a $480,000 short in MU with an average price of $440, with a 2% unrealized profit; a $470,000 short in MSTR with an average price of $164, with an unrealized profit rate of up to 7.2%; and a $450,000 short in PLTR with an average price of $181, currently with a 5.5% unrealized loss.

From this holdings list, it’s clear that this whale is quite bearish on tech stocks, while maintaining a relatively cautious short strategy in the crypto market. The current results look pretty good, especially with several stock positions showing significant unrealized gains.

ETH-1,8%

BTC-1,58%

SOL-1,62%

This whale is really bold, shorted with 20x leverage and then dared to cross over and exploit stocks, aren't they afraid of liquidation? --- Damn, even dared to short MSTR, this guy really wants to win big. --- A $1.3 million unrealized profit and still not taking profit? I would have already given up, how strong is their mentality? --- Cross-chain short position combo, feels like betting on a major crash coming. --- 18 positions, and still all shorts? Is this a gambler or a master? --- PLTR lost, but others are making money. Playing with 20x leverage is indeed exciting. --- I just want to know how this brother sleeps. With such a large position, how strong must their heart be?

Damn, this guy is really crazy. Using 20x leverage to short Bitcoin and still make a profit of 1.3 million. A role model for us all.

This whale is really bold. Short both crypto and stocks together, betting on a market crash. Truly exciting.

This whale is really brave, playing short positions with 20x leverage and even crossing into stocks. Aren't you afraid of liquidation? --- MSTR's floating profit of 7.2% just makes him happy? I think he'll eventually get caught in this. --- 18 positions simultaneously betting on short, this guy really looks bearish on everything. How strong must his mental resilience be? --- A floating profit of 1.3 million sounds like a lot, but with such high leverage, the risk of explosion is huge. One reverse move and it's all gone. --- Crossing into stock short positions, it seems the money in the crypto circle is almost burned out haha. --- PLTR's floating loss of 5.5% is already frustrating enough, and he still dares to keep adding? --- A short position scale of 45.64 million. If there's a reverse rally, it must be so satisfying. Just thinking about it makes me sweat for him.

This whale is really bold, crossing over into tech stocks and actually daring to play --- 45 million in short positions has already earned 1.3 million, this is the taste of professional players --- MSTR's 7.2% unrealized profit is indeed stable, unlike PLTR which is still bleeding --- 20x leverage short on ETH, BTC, SOL, this guy is really bearish --- Cross-sector stock short? Isn't this a casino with new tricks? --- TSLA and MU are both shallow unrealized gains, this whale's stock picking eye is pretty good --- 130K unrealized profit, no hype, this is what on-chain business is all about --- PLTR is down 5.5%, which is a bit awkward, while others are making money --- 18 consecutive build-up trades, is this a systematic plan to short? --- Stock shorts and crypto shorts combined, this person is clearly betting on a big drop
