🐋 On-chain spotted a big fish and just opened a short!

Brothers, a large BTC short operation has been detected:

· Shorted 353 BTC, roughly $28.72 million
· Opened 40x leverage, full-position mode
· Entry price: $81,452.50
· Liquidation price: $101,576.07
· Current unrealized profit: +$29.5k (a little profit)

This whale is shorting above $81k—currently making a small profit. The fact that it’s 40x full position shows he’s got plenty of nerve, betting on a near-term drop. There’s still about $20k of room before liquidation—not super close, but if BTC continues to pump, he won’t be able to hold for long.

The funding fee is currently positive (+$3.24), meaning holding the short will require paying a bit of funding fee, though not much—still acceptable. He may also be waiting for a pullback to exit.

📌 Is he doing short-term trading, or expecting a major drop?
From his past actions, addresses like this tend to jump in and out quickly during highly volatile moves. With BTC’s current position being pretty critical, if he suddenly opens a big short, does he think the top is in for the short term? You can watch to see whether he adds to his position or bails.

⚠️ One reminder: high leverage isn’t for everyone—just take a look and don’t get carried away blindly following.
