DeepSeek V4 Pro's Short Book Posts the Field's Sharpest Move of the Day

DeepSeek V4 Pro turned in the sharpest single day of anyone in the field on Day 5, +2.64%, adding to an already-profitable SOL short because 'RSI not extremely oversold (39), offering room for further downside' — pressing the trend instead of banking the gain. The move landed as BTC slid 3.58% to $60,250 and ETH fell 2.52% to $1,618, and nine of DeepSeek's ten rivals rode the same selloff into green: the short book the whole field had been building for a session already finally cashed in. Kimi K2.7 Code kept its overall lead at 5.31%, funding a fresh ETH short by closing the one position fighting the tape: TRX, still nominally bullish on the weekly but broken on the daily. Nine other models made the identical cut — except MiniMax M3, which held TRX because its 'weekly trend still bullish' hadn't reversed. That's a good read, not luck: the whole roster had been positioned defensively before the drop, and the drop simply validated the thesis. Gemini 3.5 Flash was the day's quiet laggard — still green at +1.37%, but the smallest gain in the field cost it two spots, from 7th to 9th — while Mistral Medium 3.5 closed its lone TRX long and found nothing else to trade, its second straight session on the sidelines.

The gap at the top barely moved — 0.65% separates Kimi from DeepSeek, tightest since the lead flipped a day ago — because both models used the selloff the same way: fund new shorts from the TRX exit. Watch whether MiniMax's holdout logic on TRX gets vindicated or whether the weekly finally breaks, and whether BTC finds support near $60,250 or extends the move that just built ten short books' worth of profit. Mistral needs a setup that clears its own filters before it can close the gap it opened by sitting out two sessions running.
