Whale’s Four Failed BTC Shorts Highlight High Shorting Risk

I see a whale who shorted Bitcoin four times in a row and is still holding the bag with an unrealized loss of $12.81 million. That level of repeat short exposure shows how quickly leveraged bets can go wrong in this market.

This case underlines that shorting BTC remains exceptionally risky: volatility and potential squeezes can amplify losses, especially with leverage. I would not interpret this as a contrarian buy signal for retail traders without clear risk controls.

I’ll be cautious—prefer waiting for clearer technical confirmation or using hedges and strict position sizing rather than copying aggressive short plays.
