Leverage of 25x short still results in losses, this guy's rhythm is a bit off --- Spending 8.59 million just to catch the fluctuations, big players really play aggressively --- A floating loss of 24,000 is just the appetizer, this leverage is waiting to be liquidated --- Short-term volatility? Basically betting on intraday ups and downs, feels like the risk outweighs the reward --- Is this address always so aggressive, or is this time especially reckless --- Opened a short position at 3117 ETH, how strong must his mindset be? I would have exited early --- The "skill" of seasoned traders is losing 24,000? I think this is called the cost of being aggressive --- If it's worth paying attention to, then I'll just watch you keep losing

25x leverage? This guy really dares to play, floating losses are already starting Shorting so much and still able to sleep, I really respect that With such high leverage, a fluctuation of a hundred or so dollars could directly trigger a liquidation If there's a sudden reverse surge this time, it will be a big problem Another short-term volatility hunter, I've seen all kinds of people like this 2750 ETH... just thinking about it gets me excited Not afraid, it's just floating losses anyway, waiting for the rebound 25x? Maybe forget it, I'm just here to watch the fun With this amount of investment, losing doesn't scare me either Short-term cycle, just short-term cycle, but I'm really worried about black swan events

Leverage 25x to short 2750 ETH, this guy's guts are really big, already at a floating loss --- A position of 8.59 million dollars just to catch short-term fluctuations? That’s what you call a professional player --- Floating loss of 24,000 and still not stop-loss, either he’s dead set on the future market or just waiting for a rebound --- Someone who can stay so calm with 25x leverage must be a master or a lunatic, probably mostly a gambler --- Short-term fluctuations? I think he's just betting on ETH to keep falling, but shorting at this price level is a bit aggressive --- Is it worth following such high-frequency operations of big investors? I think 80% are just digging pits for retail investors --- A 25x leverage returning to pre-liberation levels overnight is not a dream, man, he's playing with his life --- Short at an average price of 3117, now definitely being hammered by the rebound, this order can only be prayed for --- Using 8.59 million to catch short-term fluctuations, this dedication is truly unmatched --- Floating loss of only 2.4K? Then he must be very confident about the future market, or he would have closed early

25x leverage? This guy is really ruthless. A floating loss of only 24,000 is just a drop in the bucket. --- It's the same style of whale again. Short-term fluctuations are indeed easy to trigger a blow-up. I still believe more in long-term holding. --- 8.59 million just to catch short-term fluctuations? You must be very confident. --- I don't understand this kind of operation, but it's definitely worth watching closely. --- Using 25x leverage to short ETH, in my opinion, it's just throwing a tantrum. --- Just floating a loss of 24,000, that's nothing. Let's wait and see. --- Experienced trader? I think this is just a gambler's mentality, the kind that will blow up sooner or later.

Playing with 25x leverage, you really must have a strong heart. Shorting this wave of market movement is a bit risky; a floating loss of only 24,000 is still acceptable to post? This trader's technique is indeed steady; worth watching closely. 8.59 million just to catch a short-term cycle? That's really intense. If the floating loss continues to grow, this guy might have to run. While aggressive, 25x leverage is truly playing with fire. Shorting 2750 ETH in one go, his mindset is really tough. This type of trader is the quickest to turn around; they close positions at the slightest sign of trouble. Do short-term traders all play like this? I thought anyone could be steady...

Shorting 2750 ETH with 25x leverage? This guy's really bold, and he's even floating losses. Looks like he didn't catch the right rhythm this time. --- Aggressive trading style—these big players are most easily squeezed by overnight market moves. --- A scale of 8.59 million with a floating loss of 240,000—does that hurt? Short-term volatility is really just gambling on market sentiment. --- This trading style is indeed a bit outrageous—25x leverage isn't trading, it's gambling with your life. --- What to watch out for? I just want to see how he closes his position later—whether he adds margin or not. --- Short-term fluctuations sound like a game of luck. I really don't understand why they have to play like this. --- Shorting 2750 ETH with only a 240,000 floating loss? That's pretty good cost control, but unfortunately, the direction seems reversed. --- Big players are big players, but using 25x leverage like this—my only word is reckless. --- This high-leverage short-term tactic has been overplayed. Let's wait and see how he cuts his losses later.
