ZEC experienced a rollercoaster on January 8th. The price rebounded from a low of $449 to around $465, with a drop of up to 6.4%. During this fluctuation, a whale called 0x152 had a long position on Hyperliquid that was temporarily in loss, but this guy didn't back down.

When the price retraced to $459, this long whale took action. Within 10 minutes, he added 2,486 ZEC, worth $1.14 million. Even more impressive, this was just a snapshot of his additional positions over the past 20 hours — the total increase reached 9,871 ZEC, totaling $4.54 million. Currently, he holds a long position of ZEC with 10x leverage worth $12.35 million, with an average entry price locked at $463.

Things are tough on the short side. The largest short whale for ZEC currently has a position worth $17.48 million, with an average entry price of $419, and is currently in a floating loss of $1.64 million, a loss of 47%. Even more heartbreaking, it has shown no signs of adjusting its position recently, seeming to be a bit overwhelmed.

But the situation is still evolving. The altcoin short army leader has been continuously increasing his ZEC short positions in the past few hours, raising the short position to $2.08 million, and is still adding more. The bulls and bears are really going at it.

0x152 this guy is really tough, still daring to add despite floating losses, this is the temperament of a big player. The short side has a 47% loss, how much mental resilience is needed to avoid cutting losses... ZEC is really fierce this round, no one can predict what will happen next in the short term. By the way, in these matchups, it often ends with someone being liquidated... The bulls and bears are fighting fiercely, retail investors are better off not following the trend; leverage really can eat people.

This guy at 0x152 is really ruthless. Still daring to keep throwing money into the floating loss. I've truly opened my eyes.

The liquidity gap between 449 and 465 is quite interesting. The pace of adding positions at 0x152 was very clever. 10 minutes, 2486 tokens, with an average cost of 463, directly locked in. This guy's understanding of support levels is indeed on point. A 47% unrealized loss on the short positions, still holding on tightly. There must be some data I haven't seen in this. The 2.08 million short positions are still piling up. When longs and shorts clash, it's often the moment of greatest slippage. Leverage longs of 12.35 million facing shorts of over 17 million. The depth of this game is a bit hard to see through.

Haha, 0x152 is really awesome. Still daring to go all-in despite floating losses, no one else has that kind of guts. The short position has a 47% loss. How stubborn must one be to hold on until now? The altcoin short army is still adding aggressively. Aren't they afraid of being blown up in the reverse? This wave of ZEC market is interesting. Both bulls and bears are betting on the second half, seeing who will admit defeat first. Over 12 million in long positions. If there's a sudden plunge... never mind, I won't say more. Playing with fire will only get you burned.

Looking at this situation, this guy 0x152 is just betting on a market sentiment reversal... He added $4.54 million in position, holding with 10x leverage, essentially stacking chips on faith. The short position still has a 47% unrealized loss but is stubbornly holding on, which is the fate of the cycle—where there is manipulation, there are those who are manipulated.
