An on-chain monitoring agency has recently captured an interesting whale movement. Two wallets controlled by a major on-chain trader recently deposited $7.9 million in USDC stablecoins into HyperLiquid. After this influx, the corresponding wallets immediately placed a series of long positions.

Specifically, looking at the actions of wallet 0x8Fc, it placed ETH long positions within the price range of $3267-$3276, while also setting up ADA long positions within the $0.3851-$0.3888 range. Another wallet, 0xCe8, followed closely, opening ETH short positions within the $3267-$3273 range.

The signals released by this series of actions are very clear — major traders are increasing their bullish positions on Ethereum and Cardano in the derivatives market. The scale of funds and the choice of price ranges reflect this participant’s certain judgment on the current market trend. Market participants often pay attention to such large fund flows as one of the early reference signals for market movements.

7.9 million USD invested directly into long positions, this guy really believes in it. Can you make money by following the trend? Or depends on how he operates later. Another round of ETH surge? Starting to get a bit restless.

Investing 7.9 million dollars directly to go long, this guy is really bold, betting that ETH and ADA can rebound? --- It's the same old trick, when big players move, the market follows, and us retail investors are always a step behind. --- Interesting, two wallets working together on a scheme, looks like they are confident in ETH's rhythm. --- SMH, this guy was just on Twitter a month ago saying he's bearish, now he's secretly building long positions? Player move. --- Wait, are they holding over 3267 ETH? How much of a pullback can this position withstand? What about risk management? --- I just want to know if he's really bullish or just trying to lure in buyers, big players in crypto are too deep with their tricks. --- Putting 7.9 million USDC in to directly open long positions, full leverage on the futures market, right? Either big profit or liquidation. --- Does the price range of ADA have any special significance? Feels like they just set it randomly. --- Whale entering the market = our chance to buy the dip? Don't be silly, they might be dumping. --- What happens if this money loses? Will it be liquidated and cause a crash?

7.9 million ETH and ADA entered the market, this big investor’s intuition is really sharp. Follow the trend or wait for a pullback, I haven't decided yet. This price range is quite tight, unlike retail investors' moves. Now I have to start guessing what the big investors are thinking, so tiring.

Whale's move... 7.9 million into HyperLiquid, directly all in ETH and ADA. Is this to absorb orders or is it bullish? By the way, choosing such a precise price range, there must be some tricks behind it. Following the trend or figuring it out on your own... it all depends on each person's skill. When big players move, the market trembles—how credible is this? It's hard to say. At the 3267 price level, it seems a bit deliberate, with such meticulous planning.

7.9 million dollars entered the market directly going long on ETH and ADA, this whale knows more than I do --- With such consistent moves from the big players, do you think it's a coincidence or something they've planned long ago? --- Wait, this price range is so precise... feels like they're laying out a plan or something --- Seeing this kind of capital flow makes me nervous. Should I start bottom fishing? --- Two wallets operating ETH long positions simultaneously, how coordinated is that? --- 790 million USDC coming in and placing so many orders, this guy is really confident --- Hey, wait a minute, why add leverage at this point... is the market about to reverse? --- Turns out you still have to watch the whales. Retail traders relying on gut feelings have already bottomed out long ago --- The signals from this operation are so clear. Going long means going long, it's not that complicated --- That price range for ADA... wait, why are they laying out Cardano now? --- Money and people are foolishly rushing in. Africa owes me five bucks

Whales are causing trouble again, pouring in 7.9 million USD to directly squeeze long positions. I think this guy still has quite some confidence in the market. Wait, is he paving the way for us? Or is this just another show before cutting the leeks again? Is ADA also going long? That's interesting, although I still can't quite understand this guy's logic. I've been watching the movements of the big players, but can they not be a contrarian indicator again? Last time, following the whales' actions almost led to liquidation. This rhythm feels a bit familiar... Why do I feel like a new round of psychological warfare is about to begin?
