【Crypto World】Recently, the “Ultimate Bear” whale in the market has made a big move again. This address 0x5d2f4 decisively closed a short position of 61,208 LIT on January 19, pocketing $55,000 in one go. However, this old timer clearly isn’t done yet—he is still holding onto 499.9 BTC with 20x leverage, with an average entry price of $111,499.3. Even more astonishing, this BTC short position currently has an unrealized profit of $9.47 million. From the precise liquidation of LIT to the large short position in BTC, this whale’s trading logic and risk management capabilities are indeed worth market attention.

This whale is really gambling, with a floating profit of 9.47 million not taken, how strong must their mentality be?

This whale is really bold, daring to hold a floating profit of 9.47 million. With 20x leverage, a black swan could wipe it out.

Wow, this guy is really bold. Holding onto a BTC short position without letting go, with floating profits approaching 10 million, and still daring to continue with 20x leverage?

Wow, this whale is really the king of bears. After farming LIT, they move on to BTC? 9.47 million in unrealized gains. If there's a big rebound, they'll be liquidated immediately, brother.
