Spotting some unsettling signals, I have to discuss this with everyone—recently, a big player has already made $3.85 million by shorting BTC, ETH, and SOL, with another $1.77 million still waiting on the sidelines to be sold.
This is quite interesting. On the surface, the market appears to be rising, but behind the scenes, these whales are quietly opening short positions. This signal is worth pondering.
**Why are the actions of whales so crucial?**
Institutions and large traders often have a half-step ahead of retail investors. This individual keeps adding to their short positions during the upward trend, which indicates what? They believe the current prices are overvalued and expect the subsequent decline to be greater than the rise. This is not a gamble or short-term speculation but a calculated position adjustment.
Retail investors need to understand one thing: don’t blindly chase the price just because it’s rising. If you don’t have a clear plan on where to buy or sell, you should pay more attention to these signals.
**What about the technical analysis?**
SOL is currently quoted around 123, staying above the "key level 122.91," which suggests the short-term bullish trend has not been completely broken. Looking upward, 125 is a recent resistance, and 128 is a strong resistance. Conversely, for support, focus on 121; if it breaks below that, you should watch for even lower levels.
From this perspective, although the price is still in an upward channel, both sides are watching closely. The actual market direction will depend on how the next few days unfold.

Large investors go crazy shorting when prices are rising; this tactic is too ruthless. We retail investors need to be alert.
A floating profit of 3.85 million USD hasn't been taken yet. This guy's guts are really big.
I believe the issue of overvaluation, but when it truly drops, we still have to rely on our own judgment.
I'm really hesitant to make any moves on SOL this time. If 122.91 can't hold, it's game over.
Whales are leading retail investors by half a beat; we can only eat the leftovers.
Those who chase the rise will get trapped; this time, it serves as a lesson.
128 is a death line. If it's broken, we really need to run.

$3.85 million unrealized loss, how strong must this big player's mentality be?
---
Same old story, retail investors chase highs while whales have already been lurking.
---
Watching the 122.91 level, it feels like it's going to break.
---
Fake high with a hammer, I think it can still push further.
---
Waiting to see how the next few days unfold, entering now feels like a high risk of getting trapped.
---
If this guy really didn't sell that $1.77 million, the market could turn against him and lead to losses.
---
SOL is a bit risky this wave, the bulls haven't been broken but they can't hold on much longer.
---
Honestly, it's hard to tell; no one should pretend to be a big player.
---
If 125 can't be broken, the bulls are truly hopeless.

3.85 million USD unrealized profit hasn't been taken yet, this big player's mentality is truly incredible
---
Same old story, follow the trend when it rises, cry and complain when it falls, retail investors are always a step behind
---
If SOL drops below 121 this wave, I'll go all-in on a short position
---
Overvalued? But the coins I hold are still rising, why haven't I made any profit?
---
Whales are placing short orders while we're still chasing the rally, truly two different worlds
---
Wait, his account has an unrealized profit of 177 million and hasn't closed the position? Is that real?
---
Keep an eye on 122.91 and don't let it break, once it does, it will head straight to lower levels
---
This is called professional trading, ours is called gambling, isn't the difference huge?
---
Feels like I always buy at the highest point, while whales are placing orders and I'm still browsing the top gainers list
---
If 125 can't hold, 128 will be even more uncertain, and the long-short battle will be quite intense later

Large investors shorting when prices are rising—I'll need to ponder this move.
