Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 20th, there was an interesting trading case worth noting. A major account with the nickname “20 Million Wave Hunter” (0x880a…) made two consecutive reductions of SOL short positions within just half an hour. This guy is pretty quick—at 17:00, he sold 9,871.05 SOL, worth $1.353 million, realizing a floating profit of $501,000; right after at 18:00, he sold another 7,970.22 SOL, worth $1.016 million, earning an additional $389,000. The two trades combined reduced 17,841.27 SOL, totaling $2.369 million in value, with a return rate exceeding 106%.

After this wave of profit-taking, the SOL short position of this address dropped from a higher level to about $4.008 million. To say this guy really makes a living from rhythm—his trading style is known for high-frequency, multi-asset swing trading, with an average holding time of only around 20 hours. In other words, he’s a master at capturing short-term fluctuations.

Even more impressive is his historical track record. Since October last year, this trader, starting with $20 million in capital, has now achieved nearly $100 million in profits. To put it another way, a 5x return. This stable and efficient trading rhythm is still meaningful for those studying swing trading strategies.

$900,000 in half an hour, this pace is really incredible... Just looking at the numbers makes me a bit dizzy.

ngl, this 0x880a guy's timing feels almost *too* clean... two perfectly executed shorts within 30 mins? technically speaking, either he's got some serious order flow intel or we're just watching lucky candle reading. 90k profit off sol volatility is cute but the real question is—what's his next move when liquidity dries up. these whale plays always look genius in hindsight lol

900,000 in half an hour? This guy is really fierce, but looking at the holdings of over 4 million, this is the real whale.

900,000 in half an hour? I don't have that quick of a reaction time. This guy is indeed exceptional, but it does look a bit risky... With such a large short position, how dare he be so aggressive?

900,000 in half an hour? This liquidity gap is really tight, and the slippage margin under a 106% return rate is quite something.
