From 'Volume Washing' to 'Trend Riding Short': Pacifica Trader Doubles Investment, Simultaneously Earns Platform Points

**Pacifica Points Event Update: Traders Shift Strategies Amid Market Downturn** As of December 16, data from Pacifica’s official platform (via [Pacifica Official Data](https://app.pacifica.fi/?referral=pacbot)) shows that since the launch of the Pacifica Points event, traders have flocked to open positions—chasing market gains while earning event points. In the initial incentive phase, active trader addresses on the trading leaderboard focused primarily on volume-based trading: they built up volume by shorting relatively weaker tokens and longing stronger ones, without aligning with broader market direction. Recently, as the market slid, some previously “stronger” tokens posted sharp drops. This left several volume-focused traders on the leaderboard with losses. Against this backdrop, traders have shifted to shorting mainstream tokens like BTC and ETH to boost volume—now aligning with the downward trend. Current holdings from top profit addresses reveal: - Volume-focused accounts lean bullish on BNB and ZEC; - ETH and HYPE show notable long-short divergences. A high-frequency trader address (HCAKp) took opportunistic short positions during the downturn and still maintains shorts on ETH, BTC, and XRP, with an overall floating return of nearly 200%. Active since October, the address has doubled its initial capital, locked in ~$44,000 in realized profits, and hit a total trading volume of ~$10.7 million. Per analysis from X user Ron (account Ron521520), this address could earn roughly 4,200 points from its volume.
