As BTC surpassed $80000, the market caught a giant whale taking profit.
Data shows that two wallet addresses, 0x5FA and 0x237, suspected to belong to the same trader, simultaneously closed their BTC long positions held for nearly two months, ultimately locking in approximately $11.6 million in profits.
The giant whale had previously established a long position in BTC around $58000, and as BTC continued to rise to around $81000, the cumulative increase exceeded 25%. This closing successfully realized the large floating profit accumulated previously.
The timing of this exit is also very sensitive, as BTC has surpassed the key psychological barrier of $80000.
In terms of direct impact, the profit driven exit of the giant whale may increase market selling pressure in the short term, especially when BTC is near historical highs, and the realization of large amounts of funds can easily trigger traders' concerns about temporary peaks.
Indirectly speaking, this also reflects that some smart funds are shifting from "chasing gains" to "locking in profits", and the market long short game may further intensify.
However, closing a single whale position does not mean the end of the market.
During the process of BTC breaking through $80000, there were still institutional funds and long positions in the market that continued to be deployed.
The current market focus is on whether more whales will follow suit and reduce their holdings, as well as whether BTC can maintain the key support level of $80000.
After BTC reaches $80000, what is truly worth paying attention to is not just how much the price can still rise, but who starts to choose to leave.
