Interestingly, this whale's trading story is a textbook-level contrast — last November, a high-buy, low-sell operation resulted in a loss of $13.73 million in just one week, almost making it seem like a "bag holder." But early this morning, the same trader, in just one hour, managed to recover $410,000 by capturing market sentiment fluctuations.
Specifically, this operation took place at 3 a.m. The trader used 18.01 million USDT to directly buy 6,133 ETH at an entry price of $2,937. The turning point came at 3:30 a.m.—as market news changed, financial market sentiment rapidly surged, and Ethereum quickly broke out of its range-bound movement. In just 30 minutes, this position achieved a substantial unrealized profit.
From a loss of tens of millions to a quick turnaround profit, this case reflects how narrow the opportunity window for swing trading can be. The key lies in having a keen sense of market turning points and execution speed — while most are still reacting, big players have already entered and exited.

Completing a turnaround of 410,000 in 30 minutes is indeed a fast execution speed. But to be honest, I care more about the node stability during the 18.01 million USDT sweep order—being able to ensure transaction confirmation reliability while market sentiment is rising—that's true skill. Most people only look at the profit numbers and don't consider the underlying network consensus mechanism pressure.

This is fucking outrageous. Losing 13.73 million and then making 410,000 in just one hour—what kind of mental resilience does that take? I would have been wiped out long ago, haha.

Still lurking at 3 a.m., this guy is really ruthless. But earning 410,000 in an hour can wipe out the previous 13.73 million loss? Then you better keep going, my friend.

Damn, a 410,000 turnaround in one hour. This is the gap between us mortals and whales.
Last year, I lost over 13 million and didn't run. How strong must my mental resilience be?
Still scanning the market at 3 a.m. Is this even human?
Make back the initial investment in 30 minutes. The market is just that crazy.
I slept for a while and missed a small target.
This sense of a turning point, brother, I just can't learn it.

Wow, this move is really awesome. Earning 410,000 in an hour. This is the gap between big players and us. It's not money that's different, but reaction speed.
