Lightning's counterattack in this move is really aggressive, and he's also increasing his positions in BTC and ETH... This guy is truly bullish.

Lightning's counterattack in this wave of liquidation was pretty fierce. Even after losing, they still dared to ambush ETH. Looks like they really think it's about to rise.

Lightning's counterattack in this move is really strong. Despite a floating loss of 410,000, it still dares to add positions in BTC and ETH. How optimistic does it have to be... But I just want to know when it will cut losses.
