This Ethereum Trader Turned $125,000 Into $29.6 Million In 4 Months

An anonymous Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) trader has booked massive profits from a long position as analysts now forecast a pullback toward $4,000 amid the broader market downturn.

What Happened: On-chain tracker Lookonchain reported a trader who compounded gains across two Hyperliquid accounts, turning $125,000 into $29.6 million for a staggering 236x return.

At peak, the trader’s position of 66,749 ETH was worth $303 million, taking the the paper profits to $43 million (344x). However, the trader has since closed all longs, securing $6.86 million in realized profit.

Meanwhile, institutional activity has been strong. Bitmine bought 373,110 ETH ($1.62B) last week, boosting its holdings to 1.5M ETH. Alongside BlackRock and SharpLink, the trio now control 0.91% of Ethereum's total supply.

Astronomer who earlier called the pullback from $4,600, maintains a $4,000 target, with mid-$3,000s as a worst-case dip. He plans to reload aggressively below $4,000 (mid-$3,000 worst case) but cautions patience.

The trader plans to get aggressive sub-$4,000 but warns against longing too early to avoid losses, emphasizing patience and capital preservation until the right entry.
