A major BTC whale just deposited $3M USDC into HyperLiquid, ramping up its 30x leveraged short position on Bitcoin. The trader now holds 700 BTC valued at $52.89M, with an entry price of $75,919 and a liquidation threshold at $80,839.93, signaling aggressive bets against BTC amid ongoing crypto market crash fears and BTC price prediction debates. This move echoes similar whale shorts during the late-2025 volatility spikes, where leveraged positions amplified Bitcoin drawdowns before rebounds tied to macro shifts like AI industry impact on token ecosystems.

Zooming into the 4h BTC chart, price action clings to $75,561.64 inside Bollinger Bands, testing the upper resistance at $77,728.63 while the lower support at $73,949.07 holds firm as a volatility buffer. With the bullish trend intact above EMA50 at $74,380.03 and EMA200 at $71,515.57 providing deeper confluence, that MACD death cross at 375.22 screams bearish momentum—expect a sharp pullback if RSI dips below neutral 52.14, potentially liquidating overleveraged shorts like this whale's before bulls reclaim control toward upper band exhaustion.
