2.4 million dollars short? Now it's going to be an exciting show Is ETH really going to drop? Whales are dumping Another turning point prediction, believe it or not Large orders are hitting the market, retail investors should run We can't really understand it either, just follow the trend Playing like this in 2026 is a bit outrageous Shorting directly at over 3,000, really brave

2.4 million dollars short? These whales are really trying to dump the market. --- Another large liquidation, it feels like shorts have been especially active recently. --- Triggered at the 3322 level, we’ll have to see how it develops later. --- Close positions directly? That’s definitely panic, no clear plan yet. --- Such obvious movements by big whales, what are retail investors hesitating for? --- 2.4 million USD, I really don’t understand these whales’ operations. --- Accumulation of short sentiment means a reversal is coming? That might be overinterpreting. --- Large positions entering and exiting can still cause waves; the market is still controlled by a few people. --- Closing positions from high altitude... sounds like a bad sign.

A short position of 2.4 million USD is suddenly dumped, how much data support does that require? RSI should have already hit the top, right? --- Whales are testing the bottom line at 3322 levels, the upper band of the Bollinger Bands is not far away, and the launch window is brewing. --- Direct liquidation from high altitude, this statement is correct but meaningless; the key is whether the escape velocity can hold. --- Dumping 2.4 million short... Forget it, with this size of position, I no longer believe any single-sided prediction. --- Market turning point? Come on everyone, just call it a turning point, don’t always use whale movements as an excuse. --- Large positions entering and exiting themselves are information, but the real signal lies in the angle coefficient and the breakout strength; this needs to be understood thoroughly. --- It’s one thing to see bearish sentiment accumulating, but how high must it accumulate before it’s considered a gravity correction? That’s the real critical issue.

2.4 million shorts? Haha, just the right opportunity to buy the dip. I'm already fully invested. --- This is just retail investors acting up, holding onto their bullish belief without moving. --- Coming to scare people again? The last chance to add positions and break even depends on this wave. --- Closing positions? No way, a breakout is imminent. I’m optimistic. --- The idea that a short attack is coming is too ridiculous; it's obviously a shakeout. --- Damn, another drop? Forget it, I’ll keep adding to my positions. I don’t believe in superstitions. --- I just want to ask, can anyone explain why all the whales are shorting? --- No problem, moments that seem dangerous are often signals to buy. --- I really don’t understand why I want to add to my positions every time I see a short message.
