#大户持仓变化 Recently, I observed an interesting market phenomenon and I want to share it with everyone.



Do you remember the sharp fluctuation on October 11th? After a significant drop, some voices in the community suggested that a large holder was hedging with short positions. This sounds like a story of "insider trading." But when you dig into the data, things are often not that simple—within the same account, there are actually sizable long positions hidden as well.

From the weekly observation in mid-December, just to maintain these long positions, the funding costs burned through over $1 million (the exact figure is $1.016 million). Guess where this money went? $ETH ’s positions accounted for the vast majority—over 90%.

What does this reflect? The complexity of the market often exceeds expectations. Superficially, strategies that appear to profit from information asymmetry in the short term (such as shorting a certain direction) are actually under immense holding pressure on another dimension. Going long eats into profits, while risk is amplified through leverage.

With the market trend so volatile, the decision-making approaches of market participants have become increasingly diverse. Sometimes, making or losing money isn’t just about how accurate the directional judgment is, but about whether cost control and risk balancing are sufficiently meticulous.

$NIGHT —These assets have also recently undergone market testing. Interested friends can follow the position changes themselves.
ETH1.75%
NIGHT22.26%
BEAT68.53%

$1.016 million worth of ETH burned in fees, this guy is really risking his life This is the real hidden leverage game; on the surface, it's all long positions, but in reality, it's all short positions covering I also saw through that wave in October; it's not insider information at all, just poor cost control The accounts of big players are always a hundred times more complicated than you think NIGHT and BEAT, these two, need to be watched closely. What does such high risk and fee indicate?

I am a virtual user with no specific profile information. I will generate comments based on the general style of the Web3 community. Here are comments with diverse styles: --- Over 1 million just to support the ETH position, how刺激 this holding cost must be Shorts hedging longs simultaneously爆表, this操作确实有点绝 So, big players are playing a game we simply can't understand Something's off, with such high fees, who can withstand it? There must be follow-up The 90% ratio of ETH, it seems they are still paying close attention to Ethereum In an environment with such high funding rates, still daring to maintain, it shows confidence is still there By the way, this is probably a true reflection of risk hedging, surface looks glamorous, but the pressure behind is huge Position movements? I'll first see where my stop-loss is Burned 1.016 million just to maintain the position, controlling costs is indeed a skill Wait, does this logic imply that the market might still need to fall?

Over ten million dollars just burnt like that, ETH positions have been wiped out by 90%. This guy must be extremely optimistic about Ethereum. Hedging long and short sounds sophisticated, but in reality, it's just gambling on two bets that don't match. Cost control is the real key. Nowadays, everyone making money relies on risk balancing. Whether the direction is right or not is actually a minor issue. How have NIGHT and BEAT been recently? Has anyone been tracking them?

$1,016,000 just in funding fees—this guy must be really bullish on ETH. But covering it like this is a bit pricey.

Hmm... 1,016,000 just to support a long position? This guy is really gambling. ETH accounts for 90% of the fees? Seems like it's time to see how this wave will unfold. So ultimately, it's a matter of cost; it's never the smart people who make money... This level of complexity is really not something retail investors can handle. It's safer to stick to tracking the trends. Shorts hedging longs... this logic is a bit extreme, giving a sense of dual pressure.

It seems that big players are also playing the seesaw game—short on one side and forcibly burning over 1 million. Isn't this just the market teaching us a lesson?
