🚨 Whale’s 20x BTC Short Nets $3.15M Profit – But the Trade Is Far from Over!

A high-stakes BTC trader has turned a 20x leveraged short position into a $3.15 million profit, but the trade is still active, and the outcome remains uncertain.

The Trade Breakdown

• March 3 – A whale opened a massive BTC short on Hyperliquid at $95,824.5 with 20x leverage.

• BTC dropped to $81,500, pushing the trade’s unrealized profit to $7.2 million at its peak.

• The position remains open, and its fate will depend on Bitcoin’s next move.

Current Position Status

• Still active, with a current profit of $3.15 million.

• Position size: 502.65 BTC (~$45.01 million nominal value).

• Liquidation price: $102,730—a BTC rally beyond this level would force the position to close at a loss.

Whale Injects 1M USDC – Risk Management or Bigger Bet?

Around 7 hours ago, the whale added 1 million USDC to their margin account, likely to:

• Reduce liquidation risk if BTC surges past $100K.

• Maintain margin requirements to keep the short open longer.

• Possibly add to the short position if BTC attempts another rally.

What’s Next for BTC?

With Bitcoin’s volatility rising, the market is closely watching this trade:

• If BTC surges past $100K, the whale risks a major loss.

• If BTC dips lower, their profit could surpass $7 million again.

Whale moves like this often signal major market shifts—whether this ends in a short squeeze or a massive payday remains to be seen.
