Whale Short Nets $5M — Short-Term Caution for Bitcoin

I see a large whale executed a deliberate short on Bitcoin and pocketed over $5 million, which shows a strong, organized bearish bet from a major player.

This trade increases the likelihood of near-term downside pressure and heightened volatility, especially if funding rates and liquidations start favoring shorts.

I’m cautious — I won’t mirror the trade blindly but I’m monitoring on-chain flows, derivatives funding, and spot liquidity to time any tactical response.
