#美国消费者物价指数发布在即 January 13th, an interesting on-chain signal appeared.

A continuously monitored whale address suddenly made a big move: closing all three of its previous short positions, totaling approximately $140 million. No hesitation, no testing the waters—immediately reversed and went long with 20x leverage on $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL. Currently, the total long position reaches $159 million.

This is indeed a fundamental shift in attitude.

The most truthful data:
- Cleared previous three large short positions, totaling about $140 million
- New long positions with unified 20x leverage
- Current long position size of $159 million
- Loss of $4.84 million in the past day (short-term bearish loss)
- Profit of $11.2 million in the past week (mid-term still profitable)

Short-term judgment failed, but the account is still racing in the medium term. Under these circumstances, choosing to add to the long positions—what does this indicate? It shows that the trader behind this address no longer believes that continuing to short can be profitable.

Knowing who this whale is makes it even more interesting. He was once a heavyweight in BTC shorts, holding high leverage short positions on mainstream coins for a long time, with stable profit records. A whale with strength, experience, and a history of making money from shorting suddenly makes a 180-degree turn.

From persistent shorting to concentrated longing, there’s no ambiguity.

What does this mean? A key signal: smart money is leaving the short camp. When exactly prices will rise or by how much, no one can say for sure, but what is clear is—those with real strength and stable profits have already changed their stance. The rest now depends on how the price performs.
