Bitcoin (BTC) Whale Adds $1M USDC to Short as Liquidation Price Climbs to $118,409 with a $4.07M Unrealized Loss

COINOTAG News, citing on-chain analytics by Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa) on October 27, notes that the trader dubbed the ‘100% Win Rate Whale’ added 1 million USDC collateral to their BTC short position two hours earlier, lifting the liquidation price to $118,409. This on-chain action highlights margin-management discipline rather than obvious directional conviction, per the analyst’s reading of the data.

The position now shows an unrealized $4.07 million loss with only $2,400 separating the trader from liquidation. The case illustrates risk dynamics in perpetual BTC shorts and underscores the importance of robust USDC collateral reserves and disciplined risk controls within crypto margin trading.
