Analyst Killa plans to hedge 50% of Bitcoin exposure between $89,000 and $94,000

Analyst Killa said in a post on X that he plans to hedge 50% of his Bitcoin exposure in the $89,000 to $94,000 range. He described the move as his first short position in months. Killa also said that, as he noted 1 to 3 days earlier, he had not intended to short the same prior high while price was consolidating below it. According to his post, the hedge setup would be invalidated if Bitcoin establishes itself above $97,000. The statement outlines a defined price range for the hedge, the size of the position involved, and the condition under which the plan would no longer apply.

Jiang Zhuoer says ZEC looks like a "manipulated coin" and he will stay out of trading

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP, said he will not trade ZEC, arguing that the token shows the characteristics of a "manipulated coin." In a post on Sept. 20, he said that after ZEC fell to $1,445, Garrett Jin — described in the post as an agent for a "BTC OG insider whale" — shorted ZEC and then faced market skepticism that the move may have been intended to create the other side of the trade and lure retail investors into going long. Jiang added that once the "target" created by Garrett Jin’s disclosure of a large spot position disappeared, the roughly 200,000 ZEC he holds, or about 1% of total supply, could itself become potential selling pressure. Based on that view, Jiang said the current ZEC rally may be nearing its end. He added that in this kind of market, counterparties may hold an information advantage, leaving others at a disadvantage, which is why he does not plan to participate.

Mlm-tracked screenshot shows Garrett Jin holding 202,080 ZEC as Hyperliquid short sits on $34.5 million paper loss

ChainCatcher reported, citing monitoring by Mlm, that a screenshot shared by Garrett Jin showed he withdrew 68,080 ZEC from Binance on Dec. 24 last year, worth $29.7 million at the time. Minutes before the latest observation, the same wallet withdrew another 134,000 ZEC valued at $58.6 million, bringing the total to 202,080 ZEC. The report said the full amount was briefly hidden and then unhidden, with the wallet still holding all of the tokens. At a reference price of $1,580 per ZEC, those holdings would now be worth about $320 million, compared with $88.3 million at the time of withdrawal. Separately, Garrett Jin is said to hold a 38,000 ZEC short position on Hyperliquid worth $60 million. That position is currently showing an unrealized loss of $34.5 million. Based on the source report, the short can be viewed as a partial hedge against the spot holdings.

ZEC short whale closes position near liquidation, taking a loss of more than $10 million

A whale that had held a short position in ZEC for nearly half a month closed the trade after the token briefly climbed to $1,584 on the morning of Sept. 19, according to monitoring by EmberCN cited by BlockBeats. The address exited a ZEC short worth about $24.43 million at around $1,548, locking in a loss of roughly $10.68 million. EmberCN said the position’s liquidation price was $1,551. With ZEC moving close to that level, the trader chose to close the position rather than risk forced liquidation. The loss sharply reversed the trader’s prior gains. Before this trade, the account had accumulated about $9.11 million in profit since June and posted a historical win rate of 79%. After the failed ZEC short, nearly all of those earlier profits were wiped out.
