There is an interesting phenomenon in the crypto market — those who know how to operate always make money. Recently, a veteran trader’s account activity perfectly illustrates this point.
In the past seven days, this trader directly earned $2.538 million in profit. How did they do it? Simply put, it’s one sentence: act when it’s time to act, and lay low when it’s time to wait.
The specific strategy was as follows. After ETH and HYPE surged, they decisively reduced their positions to take profits, while simultaneously spending $246,000 to buy the dip in ZEC. It looks like simple high sell and low buy, but behind it is a precise grasp of the market rhythm.
Currently, the account still holds $34.87 million in ETH long positions, with an unrealized profit of $862,000. The $8.43 million position in HYPE is also still earning $130,000. The total holdings in the account approach $45 million, all in long contracts, which clearly shows confidence in the market’s future.
The interesting part is that the ZEC position, which was increased this time, is currently showing an unrealized loss of $48,100, but the average cost has been lowered from $415 to $411.29. Some speculate that this is a big player pre-positioning for an anticipated move, while others think it’s purely accumulating chips in anticipation of a rebound.
Regardless of how you see it, this operational logic is worth pondering: shifting from concentrated firepower to diversified layout, from chasing highs to supporting at lows — every step is in sync with the rhythm. Especially in such a volatile market, traders who can maintain this sense of rhythm are indeed rare.
Will ZEC become the next hot spot? No one can say for sure. But at least this case teaches us one thing: the market always rewards those who are patient and have execution capability. What do you think of this operation? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Basically, it's a gap in mentality and execution. Most people lack not opportunities, but the courage to take profits when the time is right.
Oh my, with this account size, $45 million all in long positions... you must have incredible psychological resilience to dare to do this.
I think this wave of ZEC is just bottom-fishing and accumulating chips. Small unrealized losses are nothing to players of this scale.
Being skilled at trading truly always means making money. My friends love chasing highs, and they always get caught.
Sense of rhythm is really important. Most people trading are like blind men feeling an elephant, with no plan.
Made 2.538 million in seven days? I need to learn this approach, but honestly, I am still too inexperienced right now.

253.8K in seven days, this is real money-making, our small investors really should learn from it.
Lack of patience and execution, I am exactly the opposite example haha.
ZEC at this level is indeed interesting, let's see if we can catch up with this wave.
Whales are whales, a position of 45 million isn't intimidating at all.
If I had that courage, I would have been financially free long ago. Now I’m still worried about gas fees.
Timing is really key; after being caught in many high entries, I finally understand this.
Next time, I must wait for support at low levels; I will never chase high again.
ETH still depends, but I think this guy is definitely very optimistic about the future market.
Waiting for ZEC to rebound, maybe it will really become a dark horse.
I need to think about this operation logic; maybe I can review the trading records.

tbh the whole "timing the market perfectly" narrative is such a governance failure waiting to happen... like yeah dude made 2.5M but what about the non-trivial externalities of his liquidation cascade if sentiment flips? the path dependency here is genuinely worrying. anyway ZEC pump seems sus.

ngl the real alpha here isn't the trade itself, it's the gas optimization between positions... dude's probably saving thousands in execution costs by batching orders right. that's the edge nobody talks about lol

Basically, it's about mindset and execution. Ordinary people simply can't do it.

Really, being able to operate is awesome. I, this rookie, would have already gone all-in.
This guy truly understands the rhythm; I’m always chasing highs and selling lows.
Wait, is ZEC this round bottoming out or digging a trap? I can't quite understand.
$2,538,000 in seven days, unbelievable.
I can't experience the feeling of earning passively anymore; I’m losing money every day.
