According to Odaily, a notable whale trader has recently completed a profitable Bitcoin shorting operation, earning $800,000. The trader initially borrowed 420 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) from Aave on the 16th and sold them at a price of $103,402 per BTC. This strategic move was part of a short-selling plan.
Today, influenced by comments from Jerome Powell, Bitcoin experienced a slight pullback. Seizing this opportunity, the trader repurchased the 420 WBTC at a lower price of $101,482 per BTC, effectively closing the short position and securing the profit. This transaction marks the 21st round of operations for the trader, who has achieved 17 wins and 4 losses in their trading activities.
