Trump Pauses as Market Whales Play High-Stakes Crypto Games

The opinion suggests that Trump is currently on hold, with a 50% tariff delay for the EU extended until July 9th, possibly indicating he needs a break from his own policies. Big market players ('whales') continue their active trading, with one OTC whale purchasing 30,000 ETH for $75.39 million at $2,513 and already making a profit of $1.52 million, having previously taken out $23.73 million during ETH's rise. Meanwhile, James Winn lost $15.87 million on a short of Bitcoin in 15 hours but quickly recovered, making $28 million USDC and securing a profit of $25.2 million. He then went long on PEPE with x10 leverage and today is again long on Bitcoin holding 684 BTC ($75.34 million) with x40 leverage, risking liquidation at $103,120. He seems to be in an unstable state. At a dinner with Trump, guests noted the poor quality of the meal and that the president's speech was nearly all nonsense, according to Cointelegraph. Various crypto projects and social groups are actively engaged, with references to multiple trading platforms, games, and memetic projects. Recently, market prices fluctuate within the context of active trading and risky moves, with notable volatility. The overall market sentiment appears volatile, with high leverage gambling and significant risks present. The traders and whales seem to be pushing and pulling the market with aggressive strategies, which could lead to potential sharp swings or liquidations. Caution is advised for retail traders versus the aggressive moves of large players.
