0x8c96 Whale Takes Aggressive Short Position on 1,100 BTC
A significant short position has been opened in Bitcoin by an entity known as 0x8c96, also referred to as a 'whale'. The whale initiated a short on 1,100 BTC at $64,487, resulting in a total value of $70.41 million.

The current price of Bitcoin sits at $63,990.02, below the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 50 at $64,494.4. The EMA 200 at $63,771.64 serves as immediate support, while the MACD death cross at -77.25 reinforces bearish momentum.
Additionally, the price is testing the lower Bollinger band at $64,005.7 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 36.64, indicating a neutral stance. If Bitcoin breaks below the 200-EMA, it may accelerate downward toward the next volatility exhaustion zone before any potential reversal in price materializes.
