Does this large short reflect a shift in market sentiment, or is it a hedging strategy by institutions for subsequent adjustments? Worth monitoring continuously.

Whales are starting to build short positions. Is this move really to crash the market or just a tentative hedge? Let's wait and see.

Whales are starting to dump again. Is this really going to drop this time, or is it just a false alarm?
