【BitPush】On-chain data shows that an active whale made a move at 15:15 this afternoon, shorting 2750 ETH with 25x leverage, with a total transaction amount of approximately $8.59 million. The average entry price for this position is around $3,117.64, currently showing a paper loss of $24,000.

This address’s trading style is indeed very aggressive—frequently bottoming out and topping out during short-term fluctuations, with very active capital flow, clearly pursuing quick in and out gains. Such traders are usually quick to react, but the risks are correspondingly higher. Currently, this short position is still in unrealized loss, and whether it can turn profitable depends on the subsequent movement of ETH.

Playing with 25x leverage so aggressively? Truly tired of life haha --- Another aggressive trader, sooner or later they'll get liquidated --- Still holding on with a unrealized loss of 240,000? I can't handle this psychological pressure --- Shorting ETH must be death, history has proven it --- This 3117 level is a bit tough... maybe a rebound is really coming --- Every time I see such high leverage, I feel it's too much like gambling --- By the way, does this whale want to bottom fish or really think it's going to collapse? --- 2750 ETH, if it gets liquidated, it'll be bankruptcy directly --- This is what you call a live gambler's mentality, just using leverage for excitement --- Seeing the account plunge, can you sleep peacefully?

25x leverage short position still showing unrealized losses, this is the living textbook of survivor bias. --- People who pursue quick in and out often die the fastest. In the face of cycles, no matter how agile, it's futile. --- $8.59 million in chips, just rolling in market sentiment. Interesting. --- An aggressive style will eventually have to pay the price; this time it's just interest. --- It seems someone is betting on the market direction again, rather than understanding the market's essence. --- Unrealized loss of $24,000 still calm? Either a big player or truly numb. --- That's why I say most traders are actually fighting their own desires, not their market opponents. --- 25x leverage... Greedy games are often the most expensive lessons.

Shorting with 25x leverage still results in unrealized losses; this whale is probably about to be taught a lesson.
