ETH Whale Shorted 66,000 ETH at $4,032, Realizes $10.37M; On-Chain Shows 26k ETH Still to Cover and Estimated $20M Profit
According to @EmberCN, an on-chain whale or institution posted $700M USDC as collateral on 2025-10-20, borrowed 66,000 ETH (about $262M), transferred funds to Binance, and likely shorted near $4,032. Source: @EmberCN on X; DeBank profiles: debank.com/profile/0x6e9e81efcc4cbff68ed04c4a90aea33cb22c8c89, debank.com/profile/0xe5c248d8d3f3871bd0f68e9c4743459c43bb4e4c, debank.com/profile/0x85e05c10db73499fbdecab0dfbb794a446feeec8. After the decline, the entity withdrew 40,041 ETH from Binance and repaid at an average buy-back price of $3,773, implying realized profit of roughly $10.37M on that tranche based on the cited entry and exit prices. Source: @EmberCN on X; DeBank profiles above. Approximately 26,000 ETH of the borrowed amount remains uncovered; at current levels, total profit is estimated around $20M if positions are fully closed, per @EmberCN. Source: @EmberCN on X; DeBank profiles above. For trading, the $4,032 short-entry and $3,773 buy-back are key on-chain reference levels, and the remaining ~26k ETH represents potential future cover flow trackable via the linked wallets.

Analyst Details Ethereum (ETH) Short Strategy: Citing Key $3400-$3600 Resistance and Whale Sell-Off Risk
According to @ai_9684xtpa, a logical basis for shorting Ethereum (ETH) exists due to multiple factors. The price range between $3400 and $3600 is identified as a significant historical resistance zone where many investors were previously trapped, creating potential for sell-offs as the price revisits this level (source: @ai_9684xtpa). There is a possibility that crypto whales who purchased ETH in this range may now sell their holdings to break even, which would exert downward pressure on the market (source: @ai_9684xtpa). Furthermore, with a 45% gain on the monthly chart, the probability of a technical correction has increased (source: @ai_9684xtpa). |
