A Crypto Whale Turns the Tide with Massive Bitcoin Short Position

A crypto whale known for their profitable trades has recently made waves in the market by opening a massive short position on Bitcoin (BTC) and coming out on top.

Background

According to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain, the deep-pocketed trader built a 3,940 BTC short position valued at $332 million by leveraging up to 40x. Short-selling involves borrowing an asset to sell it with the expectation of buying it back at a lower price to make a profit.

The Rollercoaster Ride

Initially, the whale faced unrealized losses exceeding $1 million as the entry price was $84,040.8 with a liquidation price of $85,300. Despite choppy price action, the trader managed to navigate through a challenging situation.

The Battle

Lookonchain reported that the whale faced off against a team of traders attempting to boost the price of Bitcoin to liquidate the short position. Despite the efforts of the opposing team, the whale managed to hold their ground.

Emerging Victorious

To avoid liquidation, the whale added $5 million worth of USDC stablecoin to their account and continued to increase their short position on BTC. Currently, the trader holds 5,406 BTC ($449 million) with an unrealized profit of $4.4 million, utilizing TWAP for closing positions.

Lessons Learned

Trading with leverage can be a double-edged sword, allowing for increased profits but also higher risks of losses. The whale’s strategic moves and risk management skills have proven to be successful in this high-stakes game.

Final Thoughts

Lookonchain has been closely monitoring the whale’s trading activities, noting a 100% hit rate over a month resulting in $16.39 million in profits. The trader’s ability to navigate volatile markets and come out on top showcases their expertise in the crypto trading space.
