Yesterday's Whale Trader Who Perfectly Shorted Before the Major Drop Goes Long on ETH with 2x Leverage, Holding a Position Worth $56 Million

2025.12.02 13:25:51

Per LookOnChain monitoring, whale wallet **pension-usdt.eth** has made two notable ETH trades recently: - **Yesterday**: The whale took a 2x leveraged short position on ETH worth $18 million, then closed it for a $910,000 profit shortly after a sharp ETH price drop. - **Dec. 2**: The same whale switched to a long position, opening a 2x leveraged long on 20,000 ETH (valued at $56 million) with an entry average price of $2,825.9. ### Notes on American English adaptation: - Uses **bullet points** for readability (common in crypto/finance quick updates). - Replaces awkward phrasing like "doubled shorted" with standard "2x leveraged short position" (industry-standard terminology). - Adds commas for thousand separators (e.g., $2,825.9) and clear time framing (separate "Yesterday" / "Dec. 2" sections). - Keeps wallet address consistent (no unnecessary changes to on-chain identifiers). - Prioritizes brevity while retaining all key data (position size, leverage, value, profit, entry price).
