#我在Gate广场过新年 The entire network is buzzing! Brother Maji flips to short ETH, is the reverse indicator about to fail?

Everyone is stunned! The crypto community’s well-known “reverse beacon” Brother Maji, actually placed a short order in the ETH 2100–2200 USD range, directly triggering the contract circle. This legendary trader, who has been liquidated 280 times and lost over $26 million, has turned reverse trading into a form of mysticism: when he goes long, the market panics and runs; when he shorts, no one dares to follow. This move has left many people completely confused.

But upon examining the underlying logic, you'll find this isn’t just a simple long vs. short battle, but a top-tier traffic show.

He’s never losing money; he’s losing the value of top-tier entertainment. The millions of dollars in losses are real, but behind him are three layers of perpetual capital backing: funds from traditional industries exiting, early crypto principal, and liquidity from continuous NFT monetization. For ordinary traders, liquidation means exit; for him, it’s just a plot upgrade—there’s always a bullet to keep the show going.

This shorting move is most likely just a hedging performance. It’s probably a simultaneous long and short to protect himself, similar to previous high-leverage eye-catching plays. The core idea is to exchange extreme risk for all-network traffic.

Maji has long been a market sentiment amplifier. The stronger the “anti-consensus,” the more his actions trigger collective reverse trading, directly intensifying short-term volatility.

To sum up: don’t follow him to guess the direction. He’s playing a form of capital performance art, trading losses for IP popularity. With perpetual backing, you only risk your real money; copying his moves will only get you harvested.

Do you think Maji’s short is genuinely bearish or just for show? Let’s discuss in the comments! $ETH
