BTC Whale Cuts Short Position Amid $3.69M Losses on Perpetual Futures

HYPE BTC

A large Bitcoin (BTC) short position has been significantly reduced after incurring $3.69M in losses on perpetual futures exchanges.

The 'whale' trader rolled an initial $85.58M short, but was forced to cut the position twice due to margin compression at 101% utilization.

This pattern of leveraged trading leading to significant losses is echoed in recent Hyperliquid whale trader liquidation events from 2024-2025.

According to market analysis, a healthy retracement towards the bullish EMA50 support at $66,317.49 may be probable before any continuation higher.
