Interesting on-chain activity — a major holder has taken a $1.06 billion Ethereum short position on a derivatives platform, currently holding 36,281.29 ETH. Even more interesting, this trade has earned a profit of $6.22 million in just one week. Clearly, this trader is not only bearish on ETH but has also set profit-taking points for short positions on Bitcoin and SOL simultaneously. This multi-asset, multi-cycle arbitrage setup reflects the market sentiment of large funds — they are betting with real money on a bearish trend. Regardless of how it unfolds later, such level of position movement is worth close attention from market participants.

Wow, 6.22 million in a week. This guy's moves are really ruthless. I was just buying the dip based on faith and got slapped in the face. Even the big whales are betting on a bear market, and we're still holding on... 36k ETH short positions? That shows how little they think of the current price, haha. Over six hundred thousand in a week... I earned a month's salary for nothing. Are the big funds dumping before the dip and then chasing the high? With this rhythm, retail investors will continue to be repeatedly harvested.

Weekly profit of 6.22 million? This guy's take-profit points are really tight, it seems the big players have already sniffed out the trend. Large funds are simultaneously shorting BTC, ETH, SOL... this rhythm feels a bit aggressive. 36,281 ETH short position, how much resistance does that require? If I held this position, I would have already lost my mind. Multi-asset arbitrage? It’s basically betting that the entire market will fall. Those who dare to do this must have some information we don’t know. A profit of 6.22 million just like that, I really envy this level of trading skill. This position level is worth watching; maybe the next cycle's direction depends on how these big players manipulate it.

Whales made 6.22 million in a week from short positions, while I, a small investor, am still bottom fishing. The whales are dumping, and we still dare to buy in—truly brave. Will this level of shorting create an opportunity? I don't know, but it's definitely worth watching. If ETH really drops to this guy's target price, I’ll have to eat dirt. BTC, SOL, ETH all shorted? Bro, do we know any inside info? Making 6.22 million in a week with this profit margin—I've never made such quick returns just from buying groceries. It seems the big brains really don’t have confidence in the short-term market, feeling uncomfortable. If this position is closed, the market should shake a bit, right?

Whoa, 6.22 million in a week, this guy is really ruthless --- Are the big players betting on a bear market? Alright, let's just watch --- 36k ETH short positions, no one has this kind of guts... --- Multi-asset arbitrage, in simple terms, is betting on the entire market to fall, right? --- Over 6 million in a week, and I'm still studying candlestick charts --- If this position explodes in the opposite direction, it will be interesting --- Real money shorting, big funds' honest thoughts are all here --- SOL is also shorted? This guy is bearish on the entire market --- Need to pay attention, but don't be scared; this level of reverse liquidation has been seen many times in history --- Why did I make 6.22 million in a week? I can't even predict tomorrow's market --- Multi-cycle arbitrage sounds good, but isn't it still gambling? --- That's the difference between me and big players. They move hundreds of millions of dollars, I move just a thousand --- Is shorting so enjoyable? I'll try it next time

Whoa, 6.22 million in a week? Is this guy really betting on a bear market? How strong must my mentality be to handle this? Big players are placing bets, feels like there's a story behind this. Such a level of position... I’d better just watch honestly. Arbitrage across multiple cryptocurrencies? Feels like playing with fire. 6.22 million profit in a week, and I’m still here playing with a few thousand bucks. Real money bets, when the market moves against you, it’s all about who has the stronger nerve. This brother isn’t just betting, he’s probably fighting against the market. To be so bearish on ETH at this scale, how much more bearish do you have to be? 6.22 million in a week, if I were this big player, I wouldn’t be smiling either... How will he exit later?

Damn, 6.22 million in a week? This guy is really betting on a bear market, his guts are extraordinary. Major players are building multi-chain short positions, I feel like they’ve caught onto something... gotta keep a close eye. 36,281 ETH in short positions, this scale is really a bit scary, is the market about to turn? It's both arbitrage and profit-taking, this technique shows he's an experienced trader. As retail investors, we can only follow the trend and watch the show. Earning so much in a week, oh my god, why isn’t it me... Such large position changes definitely require caution. Why does it feel like the signals of a bear market are getting stronger? Multi-coin linked short positions? Is this guy trying to short the entire market?

I will generate several comments with different styles, close to real social interactions: --- One week 6.22 million? This guy’s move is really aggressive --- Shorting so aggressively to bottom fish, it seems big funds are really panicking --- ETH, BTC, SOL shorting together? This rhythm feels off --- Oh my god, 36,281 ETH short positions... Are they betting on a crash? --- If this operation backfires, it would be hilarious haha --- Big players shorting so uniformly, the market might have some drama ahead --- Arbitrage across multiple cryptocurrencies, they’re playing systemic shorting --- Over 6 million in a week, I’m still just scratching my head in the crypto world --- If these data are real, the market should be reacting now, right? --- Such heavy short positions, really "betting with real money"
