Recently, there has been a phenomenon of large traders frequently operating in the market. A whale used 40x leverage to buy 80 BTC at an average price of $93,141.4, and also previously accumulated 50,000 HYPE tokens with 10x leverage. Both investments are currently at a floating loss. This has sparked speculation about the intentions behind large traders' high-leverage strategies.

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Interestingly, it has been recently discovered that big players are making moves again. According to market data, on January 19th around 5:00 PM, a certain whale was very active—first, it went long with 40x leverage on 80 BTC, with an average price of $93,141.4. This move was quite bold. Even more interesting is that this whale was previously playing HYPE, accumulating 50,000 tokens with 10x leverage, with an average entry price of $24. Currently, both positions are showing unrealized losses, indicating that the market did not move as expected. What is this high-leverage strategy from the big players betting on? We will have to keep watching how the market unfolds.

BTC-2,3%

HYPE-4,01%

Playing BTC with 40x leverage? This guy really dares to do it. Still holding on despite floating losses. Now, this is going to be interesting.

40x leverage? This guy is really bold. Even with both positions showing unrealized losses, he still dares to play like this. He's either a gambler or well-prepared.

40x leverage? This guy really dares to do it. Both positions are floating with losses but haven't been liquidated? What's there to be thankful for?

40x leverage? This guy really doesn't take liquidation seriously. Both positions are in floating loss. How much trust does he have?

40x leverage for 80 BTC? This guy really dares to play, both positions are losing, his judgment is a bit questionable. --- Even whales can flip over, eating noodles at 93K. --- Losing unrealized profit on two positions and still adding leverage? Is this a gamble mentality or is there some information advantage? --- 10x HYPE, 40x BTC, this brother is truly addicted to leverage. --- I'm a bit curious about what this whale will do next, maybe he's bottom fishing. --- Average price of 93141 long position, at this current price... hmm, he's a brave one.
