According to TradingBeats monitoring, a large whale wallet starting with 0x469e holds a ZEC short position valued at roughly $8.041 million, with an average entry price of $1,180.11, currently yielding an unrealized profit of around $351,000. While holding a sizeable short position, the whale has set up a buy plan exceeding its current position size. Early this morning, it added 99 regular limit buy orders in the $1,055–$1,100 range, targeting approximately 10,000 ZEC, with a total order value of about $10.775 million. ZEC is currently priced at $1,130.9, with the buy zone sitting 2.7% to 6.7% below the spot price. If all these buy orders are filled and no other position adjustments occur, the account will first close its short position to lock in profits, then flip to build a long position of around 2,889 ZEC. Separately, the account has another trading plan on the upside. Early this morning, it also placed 2,999 regular sell orders at $1,200, worth roughly $3.599 million, which is about 6.1% above the current price, with the plan to add more short positions after a price rebound. If this sell order is filled first, the existing short position will expand to approximately 10,100 ZEC.

Senior Iranian officials said mediators are working to narrow the differences between Tehran and Washington, but the two sides remain far from reaching an agreement to end the conflict. The official added that Tehran will not accept excessive U.S. demands and is prepared to strongly respond to U.S. strikes in the Middle East and beyond. For the U.S. to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it must meet Tehran's conditions before nuclear negotiations can begin. (Jinshi)

Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury company BitMine, said in an interview with CNBC that despite recent market pressure, he still expects U.S. stocks to end the year with strong performance. He noted that investors are simultaneously worried about wars, AI spending, debt markets, the U.S. Federal Reserve, inflation, and midterm elections, yet the market has shown resilience amid these pressures. If some uncertainty fades, sidelined funds may return to the market. When discussing the midterm elections, Tom Lee believes the market favors policy gridlock to some extent, as it avoids excessive policy changes, and the president’s veto power remains significant. Regarding concerns that a Democratic control of both chambers of Congress could impact data center construction, he disagrees: Democratic lawmakers will support AI after the election, as related investments bring funds to local communities and benefit employment and the economy. On prediction markets, Tom Lee said that in 2024, there was a clear discrepancy between prediction markets and polls, which provided strong signals for investors; however, in this midterm election, the two were almost identical, both pointing to a Democratic sweep, so he thinks the incremental signals from prediction markets are weaker than in 2024.
