Whale's $5.455 million Binance buy briefly sends SKHYNIX contract to $1,830

Fact Check
The originating analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa) published two posts that together confirm every element of the claim: the $5.455 million single Binance purchase, the brief lift to ~$1830, the subsequent fall to $1680, and the ~$441,000 (44.1万美元) unrealized loss if the position remains open. PANews article 019f1102 republishes the loss figure verbatim, and BlockBeats/PANews corroborate the initial buy. The claim's '$1,680' and '$441,000' figures match the June 29 follow-up exactly.
Summary
A whale trade on Binance briefly drove the SKHYNIX contract to about $1,830 after a single $5.455 million purchase, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi. The contract later pulled back from that spike, first to around $1,786 and then to about $1,680, according to the newer report from PANews on June 29. Based on that lower price, the buyer would be facing an unrealized, or paper, loss of roughly $441,000 if the position remains open. PANews also said SK Hynix and Samsung shares fell after major investment plans were announced.
