According to @EmberCN, an insider trader’s four short positions have generated a floating profit of $11.22 million. This substantial gain highlights heightened bearish sentiment in the current cryptocurrency market, signaling potential further volatility and trading opportunities for short sellers. Active traders should monitor market momentum and adjust risk management strategies accordingly, as large-scale short positions can impact liquidity and trigger rapid price movements.

According to @EmberCN, a high-profile whale with a 75% win rate has added another 10,000 ETH to their short position within the last three hours, now holding a total short of 50,000 ETH valued at $170 million with a floating profit of $12.25 million. The whale began shorting 20,000 ETH at $3,843 on July 28 and has since increased the position in stages, with 20,000 ETH added early yesterday and another 10,000 ETH added earlier today. This aggressive position building signals significant bearish sentiment among large traders, potentially impacting ETH price volatility and offering critical signals for traders monitoring large-scale sell-side pressure.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), since June 16, large whale and institutional traders have initiated short positions on 58 different cryptocurrency assets, including major coins such as BTC and ETH. These positions now show a combined floating profit of $20.65 million, with the total position size reaching $78.55 million. Only two of the 58 shorts are in a loss, with the best-performing being ETH, netting $4.2 million in profit, while HYPE is the largest loss at $3.78 million. This aggressive shorting strategy from institutional players signals bearish sentiment in both mainstream and altcoin markets, which could drive further volatility and potentially impact support levels for BTC, ETH, and related altcoins. Traders should monitor open interest and funding rates closely for signs of short squeezes or extended downside momentum. (Source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter)

According to Lookonchain, a trader who has previously secured over $15 million in profits on Hyperliquid is now actively shorting ETH, BTC, AVAX, SOL, and USUAL.

This aggressive short positioning by a highly profitable market participant suggests increased caution for major crypto assets, potentially signaling short-term downside or heightened volatility for ETH and related altcoins.
