Whale just doubled down on downside conviction.
A $72M $BTC short opened at 63,739 with 40× leverage.
Position size 1,130 BTC. Margin only $1.8M.
Liquidation sits at 74,493.
At this leverage, this is not a hedge. It is a directional bet that BTC stays weak or breaks lower soon. The structure is aggressive: small collateral, large notional, tight invalidation. Any sharp squeeze toward 70K–74K forces pressure on the position. But if price drifts or sells, the payout scales fast.
