Whale closes $516M 40x Bitcoin short, pockets $9.4M profit in 8 days

Whale closes $516M 40x Bitcoin short, pockets $9.4M profit in 8 days

A Bitcoin whale has closed over half a billion in short positions, betting on Bitcoin price’s decline ahead of the much-awaited Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this week. A large crypto investor, or whale, made nearly $10 million profit after closing a 40x leverage short position for 6,210 Bitcoin ( BTC ) — worth over $516 million — which functions as a de facto bet on Bitcoin’s price fall. Leveraged positions use borrowed money to increase the size of an investment, which can boost the size of both gains and losses, making leveraged trading riskier compared to regular investment positions.

Source: Hypurrscan The savvy whale closed all his short positions within a few hours, making a $9.46 million profit from Bitcoin’s decline, Hypurrscan data shows. The whale opened the initial $368 million position at $84,043 and faced liquidation if Bitcoin’s price surpassed $85,592. The whale managed to turn a profit, despite having to add $5 million to his short, after a publicly-formed team of traders started to “hunt” his short position’s liquidation, which ultimately failed, noted Lookonchain , in a March 17 X post. Bitcoin whale made $9.4 million in profit. Source: Hypurrscan After closing his Bitcoin shorts, the whale started accumulating Ether ( ETH ) with his profits, acquiring over 3,200 Ether for over $6.1 million at 7:31 am UTC on March 18, Etherscan data shows. The profit-taking comes a day ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting on March 19, which will offer market participants more cues on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy path for 2025 and has the potential to impact investor appetite for risk assets such as Bitcoin .

Easing inflation-related concerns may be a positive sign for the upcoming FOMC meeting, according to Fumihiro Arasawa, co-founder and CEO of xWIN Research. The lower CPI reading may also be a positive sign for Bitcoin’s trajectory, the CEO told Cointelegraph, adding: “This suggests that inflationary pressures are gradually easing, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions.” “Bitcoin’s short-term price action will depend on whether it can hold the $81,000 support level. A sustained hold could stabilize sentiment, while a breakdown may trigger further corrections,” added Arasawa.
