A whale account from a leading exchange has recently attracted attention. The trader's strategy is quite interesting — they don't bet on market direction, but focus on capturing short-term volatility.



Specifically, they just closed a $15.25 million ETH long position, taking a $90,000 profit from this move.

The operational logic of such accounts is actually quite clear. They prefer high leverage configurations, often use full-position modes, and quickly rotate between mainstream coins. More importantly, these traders don't follow trends — they may switch between long and short multiple times within a single day, with a very pure goal: to profit from price fluctuations.

Although this account has already closed its major positions, it still maintains a small unrealized profit on paper. This "using time to gain space" approach is especially prone to opportunities during market consolidation phases. The key is to have sufficient risk control awareness and market sensitivity — after all, high leverage involves repeated intraday trading, and a misjudgment can be costly.

This whale strategy is indeed tough. Repeatedly switching within the day and still consistently making profits, I, a rookie who prefers to HODL, can only look up in awe. High leverage is truly a double-edged sword. Making 90,000 dollars is satisfying, but one misjudgment can wipe it all out. That's not my style. Earning interest through volatility sounds simple, but in reality, it requires an incredibly sharp market sense, hard to imagine. This trader is comfortably surviving in choppy markets, but if they encounter a trending market, they probably will crash. Getting 90,000 USD in one wave? How many trades would I need to make that? Never mind, I don't want to think about it.

Is it really a profit of 90,000? Seriously? I feel like this guy is just showing off his moves...

This whale's game is all about volatility and capturing the spread, with high leverage and intraday fluctuations. It sounds exciting, but one mistake and it's gone.

Intraday swing traders are really a different species... Did they really just pocket $90,000? I damn well need to learn this trading style.
