Trump Increases Short Position One Hour Before Statement, Suspected Insider Address Earns $21 Million with Massive "Long Oil Short Nasdaq" Position

BlockBeats News, July 8, according to Hyperinsight monitoring, a wallet address starting with 0xec4 had established a 20x leveraged long position on Brent Crude Oil two days ago. About 1 hour before the surge caused by Trump's Middle East statement, the same address significantly increased its position by 30x leverage, opening a short position on Nasdaq 100 futures. Subsequently, as oil prices spiked and risk assets came under pressure, both positions were profitably closed simultaneously.

As of the time of writing, the two high-leverage positions associated with this address have a total unrealized profit of approximately $510,000. The long position on Brent Crude Oil has a return rate of 189%, while the short position on Nasdaq 100 has a return rate of 37%. The position entry details are as follows:

Afternoon of July 6: Long position on Brent Crude Oil (BRENTOIL) opened with 20x leverage;

Evening of July 7: Initial short position on 600 units of Nasdaq 100 inverse futures (XYZ100) opened with 30x leverage, totaling approximately 200 contracts;

This afternoon (about 1 hour before the statement): Substantial additional short position taken, increasing the XYZ100 shorts to 600 contracts, valued at around $17.304 million. This move was executed right before the news went public.

On the news front, Trump's latest statement suggesting the end of the US-Iran temporary truce arrangement has reignited market concerns over Middle East geopolitical risks. Reportedly, following this statement, crude oil futures briefly surged by about 5%.

Current core positions:

Long position on Brent Crude Oil (BRENTOIL): 50,000 contracts, equivalent to $3.915 million, average price of $71.8645, liquidation price of $37.26, unrealized profit of about $322,000;

Short position on 600 units of Nasdaq 100 inverse futures (XYZ100): Totaling about $17.304 million, average price of $29,108.44, liquidation price of $32,119.96, unrealized profit of approximately $161,000.
