According to Arkham, the position sits just $5,500 above its $100,363 liquidation point, underscoring the razor-thin margin for error in such a leveraged bet. Simultaneously, the trader holds a 10x kPEPE long worth $29.58 million, entered at $0.008238 and now valued at $0.013091, generating $10.98 million in unrealized profit. Combined, both trades total $25.24 million in paper gains.
Arkham stated that the wallet is composed almost entirely of perpetual contracts, representing 94.8% of its $61 million holdings. Spot and staked assets trail at $24,043 and $3.32 million, respectively, while cumulative funding costs hit $2.48 million, evidence of the elevated risk. BTC’s price action between $104,000 and $107,000, with a resistance flip at $105,200, has amplified the whale's positioning.
BTC Longs Trimmed as Price Reacts to Whale Activity
Within 40 minutes, James Wynn Real closed 2,561 BTC longs worth $273.5 million, locking in $4.5 million in profit. In a report by Lookonchain, this maneuver coincided with a 1% price dip, reflecting the trader's ability to trigger volatility.
Despite the sell-off, Lookonchain confirms the wallet still holds 5,203 BTC longs valued at $554.6 million, showing $8 million in unrealized profits. The updated portfolio remains heavily weighted in BTC-USD perpetual contracts under 40x cross-leverage, highlighting the trader’s ongoing directional conviction.
The kPEPE-USD position also grew to $32.8 million, with unrealized profits increasing to $12.09 million. Repeated $14.98 million “Close Long” actions hint at a disciplined profit-locking strategy while maintaining core exposure. No funds are allocated to vaults, aligning with a liquid leverage-driven strategy.
MVRV Data Validates Whale Confidence in Uptrend
Glassnode’s on-chain metrics show Bitcoin’s LTH-MVRV ratio climbing to 3.30, affirming deep in-the-money status for long-term holders. Experts see this as a key indicator of low sell pressure, with overall MVRV at 2.33 and short-term holder MVRV rebounding to 1.13.
Bitcoin’s ascent from $15,000 in 2022 to over $106,000 in 2025 has tracked closely with rising MVRV ratios. Analysts argue that if $107,000 breaks and shorts liquidate, BTC could run toward $110,000 as OI rotates. Still, CRSI levels near 97 suggest a pullback may precede continuation.
