A big whale's recent actions on Ethereum are quite interesting. According to on-chain data, a whale used a dual-wallet strategy to quickly deploy $7 million into ETH longs at a price of $3,332, also leveraging up. Currently, Ethereum has pulled back 2%, and this position is already floating at a loss of $140,000.

Interestingly, this happened just as ETH was rallying 10%. Is this whale really optimistic about the future, or is it a contrarian move betting on a reversal? From the whale's behavior, large funds continuing to add positions at high levels usually indicate confidence in the subsequent trend — but in a leveraged environment, even a small 2% correction can eat into a significant portion of unrealized gains. Is this a smart strategic move by the smart money, or is it a bit too aggressive?

ETH-0,87%

7 million leverage to get on board, this guy really isn't afraid of liquidation.

7 million invested with a floating loss of 140,000, this leverage is really aggressive... I think this is not smart money, but a gambler's mentality.

7 million leverage just to gamble on this 2%, you're really bold. I'm scared.

7 million long leverage? This guy's gambling spirit is really bold --- Daring to add positions at high levels, either truly optimistic or really good at gambling --- Floating loss of 140,000 only 2% adjustment, playing with leverage is really exciting --- What is the double wallet strategy hiding? Could it be afraid of being discovered --- With this trading style, nine out of ten are probably betting against the trend, extremely bold --- While optimistic about the future market, this high-risk approach always feels a bit lacking --- Whales can also be bitten by small retracements, this is the cruelty of leverage --- Putting 7 million into 3332, if the reverse break occurs, it would be really awesome --- Smart money or gamblers? 2% loss equals 140,000, the answer is written in the heart --- What does this move indicate? Is ETH really about to take off, or is a whale about to be liquidated

Using dual wallets is indeed a powerful move, but leverage... really is playing with fire.
