A major crypto investor, often referred to as a whale, has placed a large leveraged bet on Bitcoin's price decline ahead of significant economic events.

Massive Bet on Decline

The investor opened a short position on 4,442 Bitcoin, equivalent to over $368 million, effectively betting on a decrease in Bitcoin's price. The position was opened at $84,043 and faces liquidation if Bitcoin's price exceeds $85,592.

Risks and Opportunities of Leverage

Leverage trading can magnify profits and losses. In this case, the investor has made over $2 million in unrealized profit, but faces over $200,000 in funding fee losses. This illustrates the high-risk nature of leveraging in crypto markets.

Economic Events and Potential Impacts

The Bitcoin whale's bet is made in anticipation of important macroeconomic releases, including the FOMC meeting on March 19. Economic outcomes could influence investor appetite for risk assets like Bitcoin.

The key level to watch for the weekly close is $81,000 range, holding above that would signal resilience, but if we see a drop below $76,000, it could invite more short-term selling pressure.Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research

Bitcoin's future remains uncertain amidst global economic changes and market volatility. Analysts' opinions suggest focusing on key price levels when predicting further price movements.
