The "fake short seller" returned to the short after the holiday to add to short positions, profiting from previously closed short positions in UNI, ZEC, etc. at low points.

According to ME News, on December 28th (UTC+8), Coinbob's monitoring of popular addresses showed that an address known as the "Altcoin Short Seller" transferred $2 million to Hyperliquid yesterday and established a short position in ZEC around $446. The current position is approximately $1.32 million, with an average price of $479, and the address is still adding to its position as of press time. This week, before Christmas, the address liquidated its positions in MON, ZEC, and Trump, and significantly closed out short positions in ASTER, UNI, and PUMP as a defensive measure. After the holiday, it re-established its position and replenished its holdings, currently holding a total of approximately $25.62 million, including a combination of spot and short hedging in HYPE, each amounting to approximately $8.3 million. Monitoring also indicates that this address is currently the largest short seller of UNI and ASTER on Hyperliquid. Previously, during the vote on the proposal to "burn 100 million UNI coins," this address significantly reduced its positions by approximately 40% to lock in profits. The burning was completed this morning, and the address has not yet made any further adjustments. This address has recently focused on short, having fully closed 10 short positions this month, demonstrating its expertise in capturing opportunities arising from Altcoin volatility. Data shows that it has achieved approximately $6.09 million in profit over the past 30 days, with a historical cumulative profit of $81.95 million. (Source: ME)
