BlockBeats News, January 17th, trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio posted in his personal channel, stating, "Most of the altcoin long positions have exited — although it did not reach the excess return I expected, I will take the available return for now. The core Bitcoin long position is still held, but is currently largely in cash again, waiting for the next opportunity to deploy."

According to Odaily, trader "Dove" Eugene stated on his personal channel that he has basically exited his long positions in altcoins, as the market performance of the related investment targets did not meet expectations. Therefore, he chose to take profits at this stage. However, he is still holding his core long position in bitcoin and has significantly increased his cash position to wait for the next round of trading opportunities.
