A veteran trader with $25M+ in cumulative profits just made a significant directional flip. After closing out his $ETH long position for a clean $278K gain, he immediately pivoted to the bearish side—launching a 3× short on a massive 20,000 $ETH position worth roughly $58.44M. This kind of conviction move from a high-conviction trader often signals shifting market dynamics worth watching. When large holders reset their exposure like this, it typically suggests they're reading weakness in the near term or positioning for upcoming volatility.

Large investors are shorting after buying, it feels like the market is about to change.

278K that gain can't satisfy his greed, so he turns around and dumps 20,000 coins to empty his holdings? This guy's on-chain footprint is too clear, I bet he will do a reverse operation again next month.

Wow, with this move, earning 278K and then immediately going short on 20,000? This guy is really bearish.

This guy flipped sides too quickly. Just after making 278K, he turned around and shorted 58.44M... Tsk tsk

ngl, watched this exact play unfold last cycle. dude closed a 278k win and immediately went full bear mode with 58m in shorts... technically speaking, that's either big brain or he learned expensive lessons about holding through volatility. edge case alert: when whales flip like this, retail usually gets liquidated three days later lol. saved you a few eth by pointing that out

Wow, this guy directly switched from a long to a short position. Dare to play with a 58M position.
