Vida recounts the unusual price surge of BROCCOLI714: He profited approximately $1 million in a single trade by exploiting the spot order book and price spreads.

Vida, founder of BWENEWS, recently reviewed his trading process during the BROCCOLI714 abnormal price surge, stating that he detected the extreme price anomaly in BROCCOLI714 immediately by using pre-set alerts for short-term price increases in altcoins and monitoring spot and futures price spreads. He pointed out that after checking Binance's spot order book, he found that with a market capitalization of only about $40 million, spot buy orders once exceeded $20 million, which clearly did not conform to normal market manipulation logic and was more likely to be due to account theft or abnormal market-making program behavior. The trader stated that after confirming that the spot price was continuously driven up by abnormal funds and the futures price was suppressed by the circuit breaker mechanism, he first closed his original arbitrage position based on funding rates, locking in about $300,000 in profit; subsequently, after the Binance futures circuit breaker was lifted, he added to his long position at about $0.046, and continued to monitor the order book changes, anticipating that the abnormal buy orders might be withdrawn by risk control at any time. After the initial cancellation of spot buy orders, the trader chose to liquidate all spot and long positions, cashing out approximately $1.5 million. The trader further stated that after confirming the complete withdrawal of the abnormal buy orders, a short position was established on the contract side, and closed after a significant price drop, completing the second phase of the trade. The trader summarized that the key to this operation was the automated early warning mechanism, rapid identification of abnormal order book behavior, and the anticipation and patient execution of the scenario that "abnormal price manipulation inevitably leads to a pullback."
