๐ฅ Major Trader Flips Strategy After $846K Loss โ Now Shorting $ZEC and Leveraging Long on $BTC $ZEN
On-chain data shows trader 0x152e making a dramatic strategy pivot after closing a $846,000 loss on a ZEC long position yesterday.
Instead of retreating, the trader doubled down โ but in a completely different direction.
๐ 1๏ธโฃ Opens Aggressive ZEC Short
Right after ZECโs rebound, the trader:
Entered a 5x leveraged short
Size: 4,574.87 ZEC (~$2.66M)
This signals a firm belief that ZECโs bounce is temporary and due for a pullback.
๐ 2๏ธโฃ Simultaneously Opens a Massive BTC Long
In the same window, 0x152e:
Opened a 20x leveraged long
Size: 367.36 BTC (~$31.63M)
A high-conviction shift toward Bitcoin strength โ betting BTC will outperform while altcoins lag.
๐ Analysis: What This Move Suggests
Rotation to safety: Pivoting from an altcoin to BTC during volatility often reflects a defensive macro read.
Divergence play: Shorting ZEC while going long BTC implies the trader expects wider performance gap between majors and alts.
High-risk setup: With 5x and 20x leverage, this is a fast-moving, high-conviction trade that the market will validate or punish quickly.
A bold tactical shift โ and a reminder of how fast smart money rotates when sentiment changes.
