Crypto Whale Moves Recap: Insider Faces Weekly Loss of $40 Million, Copy Traders Suffer Heavy Losses

Original Title: "Crypto Whale Operations Highlights: Insider Faces $40 Million Weekly Unrealized Loss, Copy-Traders Suffer Heavy Liquidations"

Author: Wenser, Odaily

The crypto market has once again entered a period of downward volatility, and the major crypto whales, long regarded as "market trend indicators," have once again begun their performances as expected. However, even for these whales with substantial capital, recent trading operations have been far from satisfactory. Among them, some chose to continue increasing their positions after the market rebound, only to suffer tens of millions of dollars in unrealized losses; some reaped gains from token surges but are still far from breaking even; others opted to sell BTC directly on exchanges to lock in profits. Odaily will review recent crypto whale operations in this article for readers' reference.

100% Win-Rate Insider Whale Faces Nearly $40 Million Weekly Unrealized Loss, Position Value Exceeds $380 Million

As the crypto whale with the highest win rate since the "10·11 Crash," and honored by the community as the "100% Win-Rate Insider Whale," the current position status is far from optimistic.

At the end of October, this whale opened BTC and ETH long positions, with unrealized profits exceeding $10 million in three days;

On October 27, unrealized profits once exceeded $20 million;

On October 28, opened a SOL long position and quickly pushed the position value above $21 million on the same day;

On October 29, closed the BTC long position, realizing a profit of $1.4 million; at that time, still held ETH (5x leverage) and SOL (10x leverage) long positions worth $263 million, with an unrealized loss of $1.3 million; that afternoon, began to reduce the ETH long position, first reducing by 3,400 ETH for a profit of $186,000; then reduced by 11,000 ETH for a profit of $618,000. Ultimately, closed the ETH long position that afternoon, with a cumulative profit of $1.637 million; only the SOL long position remained, valued at $74.21 million, with an unrealized loss of $1.68 million.

On October 30, opened another BTC long position, and together with the SOL long, quickly accumulated a total unrealized loss of $3.33 million; subsequently, after Powell's speech triggered a market drop, opened another ETH long position. By noon that day, the unrealized loss soared to around $6.5 million.

On October 31, the unrealized loss on long positions once increased to over $16 million, including:

· ETH long position: $4.31 million unrealized loss;

· BTC long position: $3.27 million unrealized loss;

· SOL long position: $9.16 million unrealized loss.

The rest of the story is well known—

On November 1, the unrealized loss narrowed to around $7 million;

On November 2, increased the SOL long position again, adding 23,871.83 SOL at a cost of about $4.39 million, with the unrealized loss narrowing again to $6.3 million.

As of writing, this insider whale has given back all previous contract trading profits at this address; the unrealized loss for the past week has increased to nearly $40 million.

Copy-Trading Insider Whales Also Hit Hard by Market, 2 Whales Lose Over $1.2 Million

Ironically, perhaps the 100% win-rate insider whale's past performance was too dazzling, so there was no shortage of copy-traders in the market. As the market continued to fall, these copy-traders quickly learned a harsh lesson.

Address 0x955...396A8 opened a BTC long position on the morning of October 30 during a BTC rebound, but panic-closed during a rapid midday pullback, losing about $217,000 in just four hours;

Address 0x960...0e2Ee chased BTC and ETH longs on October 27 when BTC price hit a high of $115,372.8, with a total position once reaching $36.87 million, but ultimately liquidated during the decline, losing about $1.061 million in 24 hours.

It is worth noting that the number of whales who suffered heavy losses by longing BTC is far more than the three mentioned above.

40x BTC Long, Whale Liquidated for $6.3 Million Loss in One Day

On October 30, a whale who went 40x long on BTC worth $107 million was liquidated as the market dropped throughout the night; ultimately, the $143 million long position was fully liquidated, resulting in a $6.3 million loss.

This whale then used the remaining $470,000 after liquidation to continue a 40x BTC long, with a position value of $19 million and a liquidation price only $1,200 away from the current price.

Currently, this whale address is 5x long on ASTER, VIRTUAL, and ZEC, all of which are in a loss state.
