According to @EmberCN, trader 0xD83...Fd7 has grown equity from $3 million to $10 million in five days by repeatedly adding to profitable BTC and ETH short positions during the ongoing decline. Source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026. According to @EmberCN, about one hour ago the trader added again to BTC shorts using unrealized profits, lifting total short exposure to roughly $250 million. Source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026. According to @EmberCN, current holdings include a short of 1,640 BTC valued near $150 million, with additional ETH shorts implied but not fully detailed.

According to @EmberCN, an aggressive rolling trader added a 510 BTC short position during the 7:00 market drop, lifting total short exposure to about USD 200 million (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026). The trader’s BTC short sits just USD 1,600 from liquidation and the ETH short is USD 56 from liquidation, per the disclosed figures (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026). One detailed leg shows a 1,073 BTC short of roughly USD 100 million with an entry price of USD 92,469, as posted by the source (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026). Based on the stated liquidation distances, an upside move of about USD 1,600 in BTC or USD 56 in ETH would reach the liquidation levels on these positions (source: @EmberCN on X, Jan 20, 2026).

According to @EmberCN on X, a highly aggressive trader turned approximately $1.8 million in unrealized profit from an ETH short into a new $52.48 million BTC short position. According to @EmberCN, the trader’s initial $3 million USDC capital is now leveraged into about $152 million of total short exposure, reflecting an effective 35x leverage. According to @EmberCN, the liquidation price is very close, signaling elevated liquidation risk on these BTC and ETH short positions. According to @EmberCN, this rolling strategy compounds profits into larger shorts, creating a potential all or nothing outcome for the $3 million principal.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the trader dubbed the 10/11 flash-crash short insider added 20,000 ETH long about 9 hours ago, lifting total exposure to 223,340 ETH worth roughly $736M (source: x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2012321216691098047; source: hyperbot.network/trader/0xb317d2bc2d3d2df5fa441b5bae0ab9d8b07283ae). Unrealized PnL on the ETH leg is cited at about $29.46M, with overall position unrealized PnL near $40.93M (source: x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2012321216691098047). Cumulative profit for this account is reported around $145M, with the latest ETH long showing over $49.67M unrealized gains at peak and funding fees paid totaling approximately $6.65M (source: x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2011615843365662932). During the move, BTC broke 96k and ETH crossed $3,300; at that time the ETH long size was cited near $676M with unrealized gains above $36.96M, highlighting intraday price swings (source: x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2011615843365662932). The continued build in ETH longs alongside multi-million funding costs indicates sustained positive funding and elevated long leverage, making copy-trading this whale high risk per the author’s note (source: x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2011615843365662932).
