During that same stretch, Long Xin Technology's share price has moved steadily higher rather than falling, which is the opposite of what a short seller would want to see.

On top of that, the position carries $4 million in unrealized losses based on its current mark-to-market value. When the funding fees paid are added to the paper loss on the short, the whale's total loss on this trade now stands at $7.4 million.
