Recently, a whale whale closed a $6.5 million ETH long position at $3,137, then quickly opened a new long position of approximately $3.65 million at $3,125 with 20x leverage, demonstrating increased market confidence in a price rebound. The position now has an unrealized profit of $2,837.

【Blockchain Rhythm】An interesting whale movement has just surfaced.

In the past 30 minutes, a large holder starting with 0x717 completely closed out their previous $6.5 million ETH long position around $3,137, then immediately turned around — quickly establishing a 20x leveraged ETH long position at the $3,125 level, with a scale of about $3.65 million.

This is a clear shift in attitude. From a large spot long position, they abruptly switched to aggressive leveraged long positions. Currently, this position has an unrealized profit of $2,837, and the account is heading towards positive returns.

Such whale operations often reveal market participants’ new short-term outlook. From conservative spot holdings to leveraged bets, this may indicate increased confidence in a price rebound.

This whale's move is really ruthless, wiping out 6.5 million and then turning around for 20x gains. This guy really dares to gamble, short-term bottom signal?

The whale's move is so clever, directly taking leverage out of the safe to play. Turns out, closing a position is just preparing to double down.
