Regarding the recent large short positions on $GUA, it is worth the attention of traders. A one-time short position of $2 million is indeed unusual and may conceal complex market strategies. From the market performance, such large short positions are usually initiated by institutions or major players. Their possible strategy is: first, to establish long positions and hold spot assets at the bottom, then create downward pressure with short positions to induce retail investors to panic and short, then gradually unwind the short positions, and finally profit from the accumulated long positions. This "bear trap" tactic is not uncommon in the market. Traders are advised to stay vigilant, not be fooled by short-term fluctuations, and carefully assess risks before making decisions.

2 million short positions? This trick is as old as it gets. The institutions are definitely fishing this time.

2 million short positions? I’m too familiar with this trick, it's the same old method of trapping and harvesting retail investors.

Short position of 2 million USD? I've seen this tactic too many times. Basically, it's advanced sandwich attacks, just played out on the futures market. First scare retail investors out, then slowly accumulate the chips. Mempool monitoring isn't this straightforward.

2 million short positions? This trick is getting really old; institutions just love to play the fake breakout to trap shorts.
