An interesting on-chain activity has attracted attention. A certain whale account, after a period of dormancy, suddenly became active and heavily entered a long position in LIT with $3.59 million. This position is currently at a floating loss of $1.26 million, appearing quite awkward.



But the story doesn't end there. A closer look at the timeline reveals clues—just six hours before entering LIT, the same account had just closed a short position in ASTER, locking in a profit of $537,000. In other words, after taking profits, the whale turned around and used the gains to establish a new long position.

This operational pattern is worth pondering. Generally speaking, the position switching behind large accounts often hides judgments about market rhythm. When a whale is willing to endure a million-dollar floating loss in a short period, it is either caught in a trap or using volatility to make bigger strategic moves.

From the data, the account's profit-taking in ASTER had not yet cooled off before switching to LIT, indicating that this rapid switch usually points to an active strategic adjustment rather than a passive stop-loss. How the market has recently performed for LIT might be worth tracking. After all, the flow of chips from large accounts often serves as a market sentiment indicator.
LIT-43,62%
ASTER-0,43%

Rapid switch of $6.26 million... This rhythm feels off, whales are betting on the next wave of LIT, but an unrealized loss of $126,000 is already close to the liquidation threshold. If it drops further, it will depend on the leverage ratio.

This move by the whale definitely looks like a bet on LIT. With a floating loss of 1.26 million, they’re not backing down. Really want to see how it unfolds next.

nah this whale move is actually classic pre-pump narrative positioning... catching the social arbitrage window before retail even knows what LIT is

Oh no, whales are now operating with both gains and losses. To be cautious, we still need to see how LIT performs later.

Wow, the whale is playing so aggressively... earned 530,000 and then threw in 3.59 million. This guy must really believe in LIT or he's just throwing a tantrum.
