On-chain data reveals an intriguing market showdown: major Bitcoin whales are positioning themselves on opposite sides of the leverage trade.



One whale just made a bold bearish call, going SHORT on 358.85 BTC with 40x leverage after moving $2M USDC to exchange. The play signals serious conviction that Bitcoin faces near-term headwinds.

Meanwhile, another whale isn't backing down—this one's betting big on the upside. A 20x LONG position on 980 BTC, backed by a hefty $15.5M USDC deposit, tells a completely different story. This whale expects Bitcoin to climb.

Two massive bets. Complete disagreement on direction. The question now: which whale reads the market right? These conflicting high-leverage positions highlight the tension currently gripping Bitcoin traders—and suggest the market could face significant volatility ahead.

Big fish fighting each other? This time it's interesting—one dead short, one dead long, with leverage so maxed out... who will blow up?

Ha, a 40x short position of 358 coins vs a 20x long position of 980 coins? Isn't this just a bloody battle between whales... Small retail investors can't avoid it no matter how they try.

Wow, the big whales are playing with betting... This move looks so exciting, one 40x short and one 20x long, aren't they afraid of liquidation?

These two whales are probably betting against each other, playing pretty aggressively... 980 Bitcoins with 20x leverage, that guy must be pretty resilient under pressure.

Big players are fighting each other. Who's going to get liquidated this time? 40x leverage short vs 20x leverage long, I like this storyline.

Haha, these two whales are probably one about to get liquidated and the other about to take off. I bet the 40x one is the one to buy the dip on.
