【Blockchain Rhythm】Around 1:30 PM on January 23rd, on-chain monitoring data showed that a highly active whale wallet (0x50b30) with frequent operations completed a large liquidation — directly clearing a short position of 354.87 BTC, taking the unrealized gains into account, and ultimately earning a profit of $53,000.

Interestingly, after this whale closed its position, the wallet no longer held any other holdings and is currently in a watchful state. But this is not the main point. What truly deserves attention is the trading style of this address — the long and short positions switch so quickly that after closing a position, it often immediately opens a large counter-position, just like a short-term trader’s routine operation. This high-frequency, highly flexible position adjustment clearly finds its rhythm amid market fluctuations.
