BTC Whale’s 40x Short Position Faces Liquidation Risk Amid Bitcoin’s Rebound

On March 18th, data from Hypurrscan indicated that the ’50x Leverage Whale’ initiated a 40x short position on Bitcoin via the Hyperliquid platform at a price point of $83,923.2. Despite a recent uptick in Bitcoin’s value, attributed to shifting market dynamics and associated leverage funding costs, this position now faces a precarious situation with an estimated liquidation threshold set at $85,565. This ongoing volatility highlights the inherent risks linked to high-leverage trading strategies. Furthermore, it appears that a ‘Whale Hunting Operation’ has commenced, targeting these significant market players, which has caught the attention of prominent figures in the crypto realm, including Justin Sun. As the situation unfolds, market participants are advised to remain vigilant regarding potential implications for broader market sentiment.
