Bitcoin whale bets $368M with 40x leverage on BTC decline ahead of FOMC
A whale has opened a $368 million short position betting on Bitcoin's decline ahead of the FOMC meeting.

A Bitcoin whale is betting hundreds of millions of dollars on a short-term decline in Bitcoin’s price ahead of a pivotal week filled with key economic reports that could significantly influence its trajectory and investor risk appetite.
A large crypto investor, or whale, has opened a 40x leveraged short position for over 4,442 Bitcoin
BTC
$83,004
—worth over $368 million — which functions as a de facto bet on Bitcoin’s price fall.
Leveraged positions use borrowed money to increase the size of an investment, which can boost the size of both gains and losses, making leveraged trading riskier compared to regular investment positions.
The Bitcoin whale opened the $368 million position at $84,043 and faces liquidation if Bitcoin’s price surpasses $85,592.
More possible insider trading but I guess it's fine because it's Crypto and not the stock market (although it impacts stock market now that there's ETF's for crypto)
