Bitcoin Updates: BTC Whale's Bold Short Position—$1 Million at Stake as Collateral, Facing Potential $4 Million Loss
- The "100% Win Rate Whale" added $1M in USDC to its BTC short, raising the liquidation price to $118,409 amid a $4.07M unrealized loss. - A separate whale (0x960) opened $37M in BTC/ETH long positions, highlighting market divergence as others bet on recovery. - Analysts note Trump's trade policies and macro factors will drive BTC's next move, with the $118,409 level critical for the whale's position.

This whale's approach highlights a growing split in market outlook. While some market participants are heavily shorting BTC, others are positioning for a rebound. For example, another whale (0x960) has opened leveraged long trades in BTC and
