GMX Trader Makes Over $1 Million Shorting and Then Longing Ethereum During Crypto Market Crash: On-Chain Data

The trader shorted ETH when it was near a recent high at $2,000 and closed the position after the market crashed, resulting in a profit of nearly $1 million. The trader then went long on Ethereum and is currently making a $145,721 profit.
