【Block Rhythm】An interesting event happened on January 15th. A certain active large holder made moves against two short positions in a short period of time.

On the HYPE side, they reduced their short positions by 4,599.65 coins, cashing out $114,200. But this was only partial profit-taking; the remaining short position still amounts to $7,927,200, with unrealized gains already reaching $1,150,300. This indicates that the short trade was correctly positioned and is currently realizing profits.

On the PUMP side, the situation is quite different. The large holder cut their loss-making position by 39.31 million coins, selling off part worth $102,600, clearly to stop the loss. After the adjustment, the remaining PUMP short position is still worth $5,151,200, but it is now in a loss state, with a loss of about $1,039,000.

The contrast is striking: HYPE’s short position is making good profits, while PUMP’s short is forced to adjust amid losses. Such large holder position changes often reflect subtle shifts in market sentiment.

HYPE-1,91%

PUMP3,51%

Hype is making a killing, the pump is still struggling to hold on, this is the difference --- What does the stop-loss action of big players on the pump indicate... the direction was really bet against --- Another story of watching big players' movements with a microscope, but this time I really see the clues --- The unrealized losses on the pump are increasing, feeling a bit overwhelmed --- Only on the hype side does it look like making money, some take profits while still holding positions, knows how to play --- Two positions, one profit and one loss, indicating not all shorts can bet correctly --- The stop-loss for pump shorts, probably a forced retreat

HYPE here is comfortable, with unrealized gains of 1.15 million, earning passively. PUMP over there is miserable, forced to cut losses and sell. It's a classic case of betting right versus betting wrong.

It's clear that the big players are making moves; HYPE is making a killing and preparing to cash out, while PUMP is obviously caught and needs to cut losses. It's a win and a loss.

Wow, HYPE made a killing on this deal, but got caught off guard with the PUMP reversal. That's the difference.

This move by the big players is textbook. HYPE eats the pump and bleeds, while the next two bets have vastly different outcomes.

Hype made a killing, the pump was directly slapped down, this is the fate of the bears What's really wrong with PUMP? A short position can lose like this Big players are all fleeing, and I'm still sleepwalking It seems HYPE really has something, this wave of shorting is on the right track PUMP was probably counterattacked by the bulls, ouch This is called good trading, HYPE eats the meat, PUMP drinks the soup Big players are starting to shake off, isn't it right to follow and run
