On Sunday, traders opened a super short position of 0.32 billion dollars (increased to 0.365 billion dollars later) at a price of 84,040 dollars, with initial capital of 8 million dollars and a leverage of up to 40 times. Analysis indicates that this means that once the Bitcoin price rises to the 85,000 dollar mark, it could trigger a liquidation; whereas if the price drops to its Target Price, it could lead to a market avalanche. As of the time of publication, Bitcoin is at 83,537 dollars.

A Crypto whale has risked $0.365 billion betting on a Bitcoin crash, with liquidation risk looming.

At a critical moment of volatility for Bitcoin, a "whale" made a shocking move that stunned the market. According to media reports, on Sunday, a trader opened a super short position of $0.32 billion (later increased to $0.365 billion) at the price of $84,040, with an initial capital of $8 million and leverage as high as 40 times, executed on the decentralized perpetual trading platform Hyperliquid.

Even more shocking is that the trade did not set a stop-loss point and instead established two take-profit points: the first target price is $69,414, and the second target price is $58,664.

Analysts state that if the price of Bitcoin rises to the $85,000 threshold, it could trigger liquidation, causing the trader to lose all margin; whereas if the price falls to the set target prices, it could trigger a market avalanche.

As of the time of publication, the trading price of Bitcoin is $83,537, approximately a 2.8% drop from last week.

It is worth noting that this trader is not a newcomer to the market. Reportedly, he previously made a profit of 16.39 million dollars in just one month on Hyperliquid.

However, his current situation remains quite dangerous. Due to the extremely high risk characteristics of 40x leverage, some market observers expect that just a 2.5% price fluctuation could result in the entire position being liquidated.

Meanwhile, CoinGlass data shows that within the past 24 hours, positions worth a total of 94 million dollars were liquidated in the crypto market, with short positions accounting for the majority (49 million dollars). The largest single liquidation occurred on the Binance platform, accounting for 38.79% of the total liquidation amount.
