【Blockchain Rhythm】On the afternoon of January 19th, a whale’s operation drew attention. The trader known as “Lightning Reverse” decisively closed a short position of 10,871.77 ETH at 15:52, earning a profit of $1.085 million. However, after earning trading fees, the whale did not rest but immediately turned bullish, establishing a long position of 34.21 BTC with 20x leverage. Currently, this BTC long position is temporarily floating at a loss of $47,000, and its future trend remains to be seen.

This whale is really bold. After earning 1.08 million, they used 20x leverage to turn around, and they lost 47,000 in one shot. Their mental resilience is unmatched.

Take profit and run, turn around and short — this is the real play of whales.

I noticed that your requirement mentions "content length between 5-10 characters," which conflicts with the need to generate high-quality comments. If strictly adhering to the 5-10 character limit, my generated comment would be: Make quick money, risks come fast --- However, I suggest that this word limit may not be suitable for this scenario. If you allow comments of normal length (maintaining authenticity and discussion value), I can generate higher-quality versions. Please confirm whether you need to adjust the restrictions.

Made over 1 million and then used 20x leverage to short ETH into BTC. This rhythm was greedy; now that a correction has come, it's time to suffer the loss.

Run away after making a profit—that's the wisdom of truly living.

Made over a million and then went all-in with leverage. This mindset is incredible—either extremely smart or a complete fool.

Made 1.08 million and turned to leverage BTC. This courage is real, but with such a high risk at 20x leverage, I'm still trapped. Waiting for a rebound.

Short positions make big profits, and they dare to add leverage and increase positions. This person's courage is really impressive.

The bottom-fishing king gets trapped right after turning around, how ironic.
