A big trader recently "sent the other side" 127 million USD. Ten hours ago, he aggressively added another 127 million USD long position at a low point, resulting in a total position of 449 million USD with an unrealized loss of 3.42 million.
Many people find this news amusing—look, even the big players can lose money!
But there's something that needs to be clarified. This is not just an ordinary "bottom-fishing" operation.
This is a carefully designed psychological game. It's called "opponent positioning"—in simple terms, it's about going against the majority of the market. You might think he's "sending money," but in reality, he might be "setting the trap."
Why dare to take a flying knife at a low point? Because he's not aiming to make money today; he's after "position influence." When the market panics, he buys heavily. This isn't stupidity; it's using cash to set a bottom for the market—telling everyone with real money: "At this price, I believe it's the bottom."
What about you? Hesitating, feeling regretful, waiting for a "clear signal." When the signal finally appears, it's already been hammered out by others with funds. By then, the market has long disappeared.
Let's do some math: a 3.42 million USD unrealized loss on a 449 million USD position is only about 0.7% fluctuation. He can afford this loss. You can't. More importantly, his position isn't based on tomorrow or next week; it might be looking at the ecological trend three months from now, capital flows, or even macro-level turning points. And you? You're still being led by 15-minute K-line charts.
So, what to do?
First, learn to look at positions without getting caught up in the hype—big players adding to their positions doesn't mean prices will rise tomorrow, but it does indicate that significant funds recognize this level. Second, test the waters with a small position—you're not going to deploy 127 million USD in batches, but you can use 1% of your account to gauge market sentiment. Third, break free from emotional strategies—markets are always trying to scare you, either to make you run or to trick you into buying. Write down your trading plan and follow it; don't let your heartbeat dictate your actions.
Most people lose money in a bull market not because they can't hold, but because they can't imitate others' positions or replicate their mindset.
Are you going to continue being a tool of market emotions, or start acting as your own strategist? The choice is yours.
