January 14th, an interesting on-chain signal appeared.



The big player who previously made 24.5 million by precisely selling 255 BTC is now completely changing their approach. They have shifted from bullish to bearish, and it's not a small move—it's a direct heavy hit.

Looking at their current holdings reveals how aggressive they are: 464.28 BTC short positions, 6606.66 ETH short positions, 54281 SOL short positions, each with 20x leverage. The total short exposure is close to 74 million USD.

Such a scale of shift is not particularly rare in itself, but the key lies in the logic behind the operation. This is not a passive move caused by being trapped, nor an emotional bet. It’s capital that has truly made money, standing on the opposite side of the market after confirming profits.

These players have a characteristic—they never follow the crowd. While most retail investors are still pondering whether to push for another wave, they have already secured their gains and are waiting for the odds to tilt in favor of the bears. Once that moment arrives, they will enter the market in large quantities.

This doesn’t mean the market will collapse. But it does indicate: this price is no longer the best time to go long. Whether the bulls can continue to lead depends on whether there is enough buying power to absorb the sell-off. Meanwhile, the bears have already taken their position in advance.

The calmer the market, the more you should pay attention to the actions of these big players.

464 BTC short positions, this guy isn't playing around, he really thinks it's the top. He previously made 24.5 million and still dares to double down; such big players usually don't give it away for free, gotta think it through.

Wow, this guy is really playing. Dropping a $74 million short position directly—only someone who has made money before would dare to do this.

Really, when this guy makes money, he immediately shorts in the opposite direction. His decisiveness is truly remarkable. 74 million short open interest, 20x leverage, not a hint of hesitation.

This big player is really ruthless. After earning 24.5 million, they still want to add another 74 million short position... It shows they really see through something. We retail investors are still debating whether to add to our positions, while they have already switched tracks [laughing]. Rebirth is all about this: the funds that make money never follow the trend blindly. This is true wisdom in navigating cycles. Opportunities at the bottom range still require patience; don’t be fooled by the current calm. Value reversion takes time. Recently, my mindset has just about recovered, and seeing this signal actually feels more reassuring. At least the short position has been established, which means there is support below. Today is another day of full conviction, waiting for the moment when dawn breaks through [keep going].

Wow, this guy really makes money and then flips it right away. I have to admit, I respect this kind of move. Short position of $74 million, that's no joke. You must have a lot of confidence.
