The giant whale “sat0shi777” has a 90% win rate—going short ETH ended up giving all the profits back in one move.
This kind of script is all too common in the crypto world. A high win rate doesn’t necessarily mean you make more—what matters is how you manage tail risk. A 90% win rate sounds terrifying, but if you lose control of the position size on the one losing trade, every profit you made earlier can be wiped out.
This ETH spot is actually quite awkward—below around 1600 there’s liquidity piled up, but above 1750-1800 is also heavily guarded by short positions. Funding rates keep flipping back and forth with no clear directional signal.
In this kind of market, win rate is a trap. The more confident you feel that you’re solid, the more likely you are to go heavy and place one big bet. But the market is expert at proving everyone wrong.
Look at that FTT spike—the needle shot it up with a 27% move, and the contracts managed to punish both longs and shorts. In this liquidity environment, if leverage is even slightly heavier, one impulsive move is all it takes.
Personally, I’m still cautious about ETH. I’ll wait until the direction becomes clear before jumping in—I won’t bet on a breakout at this level. The market needs a bit of time to digest everything.
