BTC Whale Turns $21.31M Unrealized Loss Into $26.52M 24‑Hour Gain After BTC Falls to $102K, Sells ~40% of Shorts and Keeps 1,300 BTC

COINOTAG News on October 11, citing on‑chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa), reports a prominent whale who had been persistently shorting BTC since March 2025 reversed a multimonth drawdown after a brief drop in Bitcoin to $102,000. According to blockchain tracking, the position’s cumulative unrealized loss of $21.31 million converted into a 24‑hour mark‑to‑market gain of as much as $26.52 million, and the trader has realized profits on nearly 40% of the original short positions. The account remains exposed with roughly 1,300 BTC (about $144 million) on the ledger, a metric that provides a clear signal of remaining short exposure for institutional and retail observers monitoring crypto market dynamics.
