On August 14, TradingBeats data showed SK Hynix (SKHX) and SanDisk (SNDK) surging overnight into the morning session. A whale address starting 0x0c4 had closed 2,908.3 SKHX and 2,323.9 SNDK long positions a day earlier, banking about $186,000 in total. At this morning's highs, those positions could have yielded as much as $1.385 million in profit — roughly $1.2 million more than what the whale actually realized, meaning the missed gain was about 6.5x the booked profit. SKHX was sold at an average $1,022.9, netting roughly $17,000, while the token peaked at $1,207.4 this morning, leaving about $537,000 on the table. SNDK was cleared at $1,278 on average, booking around $169,000; it rose to $1,563.3, missing roughly $663,000. Combined position value at closing stood at about $5.945 million. After the exit, the two tokens rose as much as 18.0% and 22.3% respectively from the sale averages. Instead of re-entering longs, the whale has opened a 10x isolated short on 2,524.2 SNDK, with a position value of roughly $3.902 million, an average entry of $1,553.2, floating profit of around $18,000, and a liquidation price of $1,936.
