According to @EmberCN on X (source: x.com/EmberCN/status/1971745312449716456), after the reduction, a remaining 1,200 BTC short position valued at approximately $131 million shows a new liquidation price of $110,455, which @EmberCN stated was within $1,000 of spot at the time. According to @EmberCN on X (source: x.com/EmberCN/status/1971745312449716456), the referenced position can be tracked via the address shared by @EmberCN here: hyperbot.network/trader/0x9018960618eFF55F5852e345B7Cb5661fd2928e1 (source: hyperbot.network/trader/0x9018960618eFF55F5852e345B7Cb5661fd2928e1).

According to @EmberCN, James Wynn liquidated his $1 billion Bitcoin short position between 6:09 and 6:15, incurring a loss of $15.86 million. The forced closure of this 40x leveraged short, originally opened at an average price of $107,069 for 9,402 BTC, led to a rapid $800 increase in BTC price due to short covering pressure. This large-scale liquidation highlights the direct impact of major whale trades on Bitcoin price action and market volatility, offering short-term trading opportunities for crypto traders monitoring whale activity (Source: @EmberCN, Twitter, May 25, 2025).

According to AltcoinGordon, approximately $3 billion worth of Bitcoin short positions are at risk of liquidation if BTC reaches the $100,000 level. This potential short squeeze could result in increased volatility and rapid price movements, offering significant trading opportunities for market participants focused on high-leverage scenarios. Traders should closely monitor open interest and liquidation levels as BTC approaches this psychological milestone, as substantial liquidations historically drive sharp upward moves (source: @AltcoinGordon on Twitter, May 2, 2025).
