#数字资产市场动态 January 15th, the crypto market once again made a big splash. According to on-chain data tracking, a large holder quietly opened a big short position within an hour—25x leverage, aggressively investing 93.08 BTC, with an average entry price of $96,391.2. The nominal position size associated with this move is close to $9 million.
The implications behind these numbers are not simple. 25x leverage + a position of nearly a hundred BTC—what does that mean? Even a 1% price fluctuation could cause the account's P&L to jump up or down. Currently, this large holder has an unrealized profit of $10,000, so it looks like a good start.
But the most interesting part of this move is—when it happened. Recently, BTC has been fluctuating around $96,000, with bulls and bears already tightly balanced. Suddenly, such a large short position appeared, and market interpretations immediately exploded. Some say this is a whale with keen intuition positioning ahead of a correction; others say it's purely short-term hedging; some speculate whether a major exchange or institution is adjusting its positions.
The key is—on-chain activity from large holders often amplifies market sentiment. Will this big position continue to grow its unrealized gains, or will the subsequent market reverse and break through his stop-loss? The next few days' trend could be very telling. Whether BTC can break through this resistance level or is forced to retreat largely depends on the true intentions of such large funds.

Playing BTC with 25x leverage, this guy's really bold. Just one percentage point can blow up the account.

Oh no, playing with 25x leverage so aggressively—whales are either really smart or just tired of life.

Laying out 9 million USD in an hour—this pace can scare retail investors to their knees.

Starting to show off after a $10,000 unrealized profit? Get ready for a reverse blowout.
---
In the midst of a bullish and bearish standoff, suddenly coming with this move—are they institutions testing the waters or just stirring up trouble?

Shorts on 93 coins, the key is how BTC moves in the next few days—this has truly become the market's stabilizing force.

Playing with 25x leverage like this is truly crazy. Gambler's mentality.

Damn, 93 Bitcoins with 25x leverage? This guy really dares to play. A 1% fluctuation is directly worth tens of thousands. Just thinking about it makes my hands tremble.

Playing with 25x leverage this big—either a real whale or a true lunatic, betting on this wave of correction.

A 25x leverage move—either a genius or a lunatic, there's no middle ground.
