Top Trader Closes Bitcoin Long with Enormous Loss


Top Trader Closes Bitcoin Long with Enormous Loss


According to Lookonchain, top trader James Wynn closed his entire long position on Sunday. 

The trader in question had accumulated a total of $1.25 billion worth of long positions. 

After closing the trades, Wynn took a massive loss of $13.4 million. 

Notably, the price of Bitcoin dipped by 1.3% on the Hyperliquid platform after the whale closed the massive position.

At press time, the leading cryptocurrency is changing hands at $107,342.

The cryptocurrency has now dropped by more than 4% from its current all-time high of $112,000 that was reached on May 22. 

Altcoin trades

Prior to going long on Bitcoin, the whale also closed his long positions on Pepe (PEPE) and secured a massive profit of $25 million. 

On Saturday, however, he also closed his long positions on Ethereum (ETH) and Sui (SUI), logging a loss of $5.3 million. 

Flipping bearish 

After closing the recent long, Wynn has now flipped bearish on Bitcoin, which means that he has opened a short position. 

His current short position stands at $112 million. The whale will get liquidated if the Bitcoin price surges to $149,100, which is a highly unlikely scenario in the short term. 

Recent liquidations 

According to the data provided by CoinGlass, roughly $212 million worth of crypto has been liquidated over the past 24 hours. Obviously, long positions account for the vast majority of this sum ($169 million).

The leading cryptocurrency seems to be on the verge of dipping below the $107,000 level, meaning that bears remain in control for now.
