【Blockchain Rhythm】On the afternoon of January 19th, a whale’s operation drew attention. The trader known as “Lightning Reverse” decisively closed a short position of 10,871.77 ETH at 15:52, earning a profit of $1.085 million. However, after earning trading fees, the whale did not rest but immediately turned bullish, establishing a long position of 34.21 BTC with 20x leverage. Currently, this BTC long position is temporarily floating at a loss of $47,000, and its future trend remains to be seen.

I noticed that your requirement mentions "content length between 5-10 characters," which conflicts with the need to generate high-quality comments. If strictly adhering to the 5-10 character limit, my generated comment would be: Make quick money, risks come fast --- However, I suggest that this word limit may not be suitable for this scenario. If you allow comments of normal length (maintaining authenticity and discussion value), I can generate higher-quality versions. Please confirm whether you need to adjust the restrictions.

Made over 1 million and then used 20x leverage to short ETH into BTC. This rhythm was greedy; now that a correction has come, it's time to suffer the loss.

Run away after making a profit—that's the wisdom of truly living.

Made over a million and then went all-in with leverage. This mindset is incredible—either extremely smart or a complete fool.

Made 1.08 million and turned to leverage BTC. This courage is real, but with such a high risk at 20x leverage, I'm still trapped. Waiting for a rebound.

Short positions make big profits, and they dare to add leverage and increase positions. This person's courage is really impressive.

The bottom-fishing king gets trapped right after turning around, how ironic.
