As Bitcoin's price drops below $92,000, a well-known whale wallet with a 3x leverage on 1,000 BTC long positions faces a floating loss of $4.07 million. This whale recently adjusted its holdings quickly, taking profits from ETH longs and increasing its BTC position, reflecting differing views among market participants. Large holdings movements have become a market indicator.

【BitPush】As the price of Bitcoin drops below the $92,000 mark, on-chain data tracking shows that a well-known whale wallet with a 3x leverage position is facing pressure on its 1,000 BTC long position. This long position is worth approximately $91.53 million but has already floating losses of $4.07 million — with an average entry price of $95,614.5.

Interestingly, the trading rhythm of this whale is worth noting. On January 16, it just closed a profitable ETH long position and immediately increased its BTC position. The quick switch from one asset to another and facing a retracement may reflect different market views among participants.

In the current Bitcoin volatility environment, the movements of large holdings often serve as market indicators — especially those on-chain players willing to use high leverage.

This whale is a bit impatient. ETH just closed its position and turned to BTC, directly hitting the retracement... Over 4 million just gone, playing with 3x leverage is really aggressive.

Oh no, this whale probably hit a mine. With a 3x leverage and a floating loss of over 4 million, can they still sleep well? --- Sold ETH to buy BTC, this pace... it's pretty aggressive. --- Can't even hold 92,000, feels like it will drop further, big players might get liquidated. --- I just want to know what this guy's mindset is now. Losing so much on paper, does he still hold? --- Typical chase and get caught, should wait for bottom signals before entering. Isn't this suicidal now? --- Whales are not invincible either; it seems high leverage is just a gamble. --- Switched to BTC and the trend reversed, market volatility is so crazy, it's unbelievable. --- That's why I never touch leverage. My heart can't take it, bro. --- Floating loss of 4.07 million is just the beginning? How will they rescue this market later? --- Can we get a stop-loss signal? If it keeps falling like this, it might explode directly.

I've always said this wave is the best opportunity to get in. What are you still afraid of now? --- Whales dare to use 3x leverage, what are we hesitating for? The trend is already set. --- Others are fearful while I am greedy. 92,000 is the peak. Remember my words. --- This is the real first-mover advantage. Time waits for no one. --- Have you seen clearly? Institutions are deploying, retail investors are still hesitating. --- What if 92,000 breaks? I said three years ago that this is the wealth code. --- If you still don't enter now, it would be a pity to miss the internet boom back then. --- The key is to recognize the trend. This pullback is a gift from heaven. --- How can we profit if whales are losing money? What's the logic, everyone? --- Speaking of which, those who truly understand have already increased their positions. What about you?
