A whale swimming in bloody waters
Whale With 100% Win Rate Loses $39 Million in a Week as Market Bleeds
In Brief
- • Key Takeaways:
A crypto whale known for a flawless trading record has finally been caught on the wrong side of the market. After months of profitable high-leverage trades, the recent market downturn has wiped out over $39 million from their positions in just one week.
- A whale with a flawless win streak has taken over $39M in unrealized losses after high-leverage longs were liquidated during the market downturn.
- Their aggressive 10x–40x leverage strategy, once admired as genius, is now raising questions about sustainability and risk.
- Analysts warn more losses could follow if Bitcoin breaks down from its current pattern, potentially dragging the entire market lower.
One of such whales with a 100% win rate has lost over $39 million in trades in a week in long positions, onchain data reveals.
The whale was liquidated in open longs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and HYPE, although the losses are still unrealized.
A Brutal Market Reality Check?
The recent market correction has crushed investor confidence, and even the most successful traders are taking heavy hits.
This particular whale, previously seen as a market “compass” due to his perfect win rate, was liquidated across long positions on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and HYPE after opening highly leveraged longs on October 30.
Known for taking 10x to 40x leverage on trades, his aggressive strategy worked flawlessly until now, raising questions about whether his past wins were skill, timing, or luck.
Before now, crypto traders were starting to speculate that the whale was performing some kind of insider trading. However, recent losses call that to question.
Could the Losses Get Even Worse?
Despite already sitting on massive unrealized losses, analysts warn that more downside may be ahead.
According to a crypto analyst, Bitcoin is in a tightening descending triangle and while it could bounce after breaking out, there are chances it could also break downward instead of upward.
Other analysts have highlighted the possibility of Bitcoin going further down towards $100,000, a move that could further magnify losses across the entire market.
