ChainThink News, December 29: According to Hyperinsight monitoring, from 10:00 to 20:00 today, notable whale movements following recent portfolio rebalancing are as follows:


Bullish Camp:


- "30-times Bullish, Never Give Up": Actively opened long positions early morning (NEAR/ETH/HYPE), and continued rolling over longs in HYPE exceeding 58,000 tokens in the afternoon; however, unwound SEI (profit-taking), ETH (profit-taking), and NEAR (cutting losses) positions toward the close.


- "Majie Huang Licheng": Added 40,000 HYPE longs in the afternoon with minor additional accumulation, bringing total position size to approximately $1.3 million. Short-term bullish on HYPE, but has fully liquidated all positions with stop-loss within the past hour.


- "Largest Bull on-chain Lighter": Placed multi-tiered take-profit orders at high levels on LIT contracts (target > $4.1), currently in floating loss but remains firmly long without reducing exposure.


Bearish Camp:


- "Biggest ZEC Bear": Opened new FARTCOIN short positions of 3.26 million tokens early morning, then rolled over and increased ETH short exposure (position size exceeding $133 million, floating profit over $11 million), becoming the largest ETH bear.


- "Whale Switching from Long to Short": Took profits on SOL shorts for $58,300, currently heavily weighted in BTC/ETH shorts (total size exceeding $123 million).


Whale Liquidation & Exit:


- "pension-usdt.eth": Conducted six consecutive large-scale ETH short sell-offs, followed by full liquidation and exit, exiting at a high-level stop-loss (cumulative loss of $2.51 million); some short positions exited amid volatility.
