Jakarta, Pintu News – A crypto whale who managed to pocket more than $197 million during the market crash in October is now back with a prediction that the value of Bitcoin (BTC) will drop again. With his previous astounding success, this investor seems to have no qualms about repeating the same strategy in the face of unpredictable market fluctuations.
According to reports from blockchain analytics firms, the crypto whale has transferred $30 million in USDC to Hyperliquid and opened a 10-fold leveraged Bitcoin (BTC) short position worth approximately $75.5 million. This position was later expanded, suggesting that the investor is increasingly convinced of further market declines.
With a total value of active short bets reaching $226.6 million, this whale doesn’t seem to be messing around in anticipation of the next Bitcoin (BTC) price drop. This whale, known by the nickname BitcoinOG, has shown unrealized gains of around $6.8 million from recent positions. The liquidation price for this position is set at $123,282, which shows that the risk taken is considerable, but the potential gains are also significant.
Despite bearish predictions from some major investors, the Bitcoin (BTC) market is showing signs of recovery. Bitcoin (BTC) price briefly rebounded beyond $114,000 before stabilizing around $108,000. Market analysts indicate that technical signals and capital rotation may be driving renewed optimism, with predictions that Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins could rally soon.

Some investors have taken long positions showing confidence in the market recovery. These four investors, as reported by Lookonchain, show that not all market participants have lost faith in the potential price rise of Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets.
With market conditions being so volatile, it’s hard to predict exactly which direction the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will take. However, the actions of crypto whales who have had great success in the past cannot be ignored.
The decision to double down on short bets indicates a strong analysis and belief in the potential for further declines. On the other hand, the optimism of some investors who chose to invest in long positions suggests that hope for recovery still exists. The coming days will be the critical determinant as to whether bearish or bullish predictions will prove to be correct.
With market dynamics constantly changing, investors around the world must remain vigilant and ready to adjust their strategies accordingly. Whether it is following in the footsteps of experienced crypto whales or taking a risk on a potential bull run, decisions should be based on in-depth analysis and a good understanding of the market.
