Fact Check
The user's specific statement is that on-chain monitoring highlighted a separate whale account holding large Bitcoin and Ethereum short positions with $3.21 million in unrealized profit. This is directly supported by the fetched PANews article titled '巨鲸“先定10个大目标” BTC、ETH 空单累计浮盈达321万美元 | PANews', which states that the whale’s BTC and ETH shorts were showing total unrealized profit of $3.21 million, with position details for both assets. The PANews page also links to the upstream X post at https://x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2043320806982484279, and the Odaily link was traced to the same source family, which is consistent corroboration. However, direct fetching of the X source failed, and search did not return additional independent confirmations in this run, so confidence is medium rather than high. The separate PANews page about a 5,000 WETH limit sell order confirms the broader context involves multiple distinct whale stories, matching the user's wording that this was a separate whale account.
