【CryptoWorld】This morning, a loss signal was detected on the chain. A whale address urgently closed a newly opened short position of 2,901.83 AAVE and over 400 million kPEPE shorts. As a result of this operation, the account’s unrealized loss reached $24,000.

From a trading perspective, this loss reflects the volatility of the market. Being forced to close positions shortly after opening indicates that the market trend deviated from this large holder’s expectations. Especially considering the massive size of the kPEPE short position, yet it still couldn’t offset the overall loss, which may involve adjustments in risk hedging strategies at different times.

For on-chain data enthusiasts, such large position changes often reflect real-time judgments of market participants—when whales quickly cut losses, it usually signals a potential trend reversal. Interested traders are encouraged to keep an eye on this address’s subsequent movements.

Haha, even whales are crashing. Losing $24,000 USD just like that, it's really outrageous. This chart is so surreal, even short positions can be held in reverse. Is the over 400 million KPEPE short still losing? How strong must the rebound be... Honestly, looking at this trend, even whales can't predict it. Are we still brave enough to buy the dip? Getting slapped in the face for short positions—this is more telling than the price movement itself. Wait, will this whale address continue to move later? Keep an eye on it and see. This stop-loss was a bit rushed; it feels like it's not over yet. Whales are all running, retail investors are still buying the dip—truly incredible.

Whale stop-loss at 24,000, indicating that they also have to accept reality honestly. AAVE and kPEPE double kill, isn't this just a microcosm of the recent bizarre market行情? Short positions with such large volume still get wrecked, really no one can escape. Need to pay more attention to the movements of these big players on the chain.

Oh no, $24,000 disappeared just like that. How can this whale be so unlucky? Sold out, nothing more to say. Shorts are so strong but still losing money. No one can really grasp the market. KPEPE has been hammered so much and still crashed, hilarious. Wait... Could this whale be about to buy the dip again?

$24K just disappeared like that, even whales have their crashes --- Such a large short position and still stop-loss, how crazy is the market --- kPEPE 440 million tokens short position can't hold, how strong must the rebound be --- If I had known to follow the big fish to buy the dip, losing 24,000 is really quick --- Honestly, this big investor still has risk control awareness, stop-loss when losing, no greed --- AAVE and kPEPE double shorts both got wrecked, are these two going to surge today? --- On-chain signals are accurate but can't withstand black swan events, whales also get hit --- Next time we see activity from this address, we must pay attention, such decisive stop-loss must have a backup plan --- $24,000 lost just like that, how long do I need to save to earn it back? --- Such a large position and still get slapped in the face, the market has really changed
