Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Whales Active Before the Year-End! Giant Whale Undecided on Bitcoin and Ethereum: Opened a Long Position for One and a Short Position for the… Original Link: While Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoin prices continue to move sideways, the same is not true for whales.

Although there is no movement in prices, large whales continue to trade.

According to Lookonchain’s report, a newly created wallet deposited a total of $4 million worth of USDC into the platform over the past four days. It then opened transactions in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

However, the whale is expecting a rise in one and a fall in the other. Specifically, the whale opened a long position in Bitcoin expecting an increase, while opening a short position in Ethereum.

Accordingly, the whale opened a long position on 218.6 Bitcoin, worth $19.15 million, with 10x leverage. Conversely, it opened a short position on 5,294 ETH, worth $15.5 million, also with 10x leverage.

Liquid prices were $71,392 for Bitcoin and $3,588 for Ethereum.

Another whale acquired a large amount of ZEC. Lookonchain reported that a newly created wallet (t1XKfb) purchased 30,000 ZEC from a major exchange, worth $13.25 million.

An institutional whale purchased a large amount of Worldcoin (WLD). Accordingly, a wallet (0xf000) affiliated with Multicoin Capital bought 60 million WLD, worth $30 million, at $0.50 per token OTC.

Lastly, Erik Voorhees, one of Bitcoin’s early advocates and founder of ShapeShift, once again exchanged his Ethereum for Bitcoin Cash (BCH). He has been exchanging his ETH for BCH in recent weeks. Lookonchain reported that Erik Voorhees invested another 1,635 ETH ($4.81 million) in THORChain, exchanging it for BCH.

Big whales' moves this time are quite interesting. I believe in shorting ETH with BTC. This mindset is really... Only extraordinary people dare to take the opposite position.

This move by the big players is quite interesting. Betting on Bitcoin and bearish on Ethereum... Are they betting that the market will turn around by the end of the year?

Big whales are still playing tricks. Some are going long on Bitcoin while shorting Ethereum. Are they hedging their bets or do they genuinely think this wave will reverse?

The big fish are playing reverse operations, it seems they've already seen through the situation... BTC long ETH short, this combo move is quite something.
