A major BTC trader just made a significant move. After closing out a short position roughly 4 hours ago—banking a clean $21K profit in the process—they didn't stick around on the sidelines. Instead, they pivoted aggressively to the upside, flipping into a hefty 40× long position.
Here's what's on the line: 14.08 BTC (~$1.24M in notional value) riding on that leverage. The liquidation level sits at $87,111, so there's meaningful skin in the game here. For traders watching whale wallets and sentiment shifts, this kind of conviction move—exiting bearish bets to pile into bullish leverage—often signals how the smart money is reading the current market setup.

40x leverage All in 1.24M, this guy is really bold. Liquidation price 87K, just one fluctuation away from being wiped out.

The Whale's operation this time is really crazy, playing so big with 40x leverage, either making a fortune or directly blowing the account.
