According to Lookonchain, trader '0x51d9' executed a high-risk 40x leveraged short position on Bitcoin (BTC), closing the trade for a $1.18 million profit (source: Lookonchain, May 12, 2025; hypurrscan.io/address/0x51d9). This large-scale leveraged short signals increased market volatility and highlights significant bearish momentum influencing BTC price movements. Crypto traders should monitor for potential liquidations and further price swings, as high-leverage actions often trigger cascading effects in the Bitcoin derivatives market.

According to @doctortraderr, a new BTC short position was opened as part of the '100-1k$ challenge,' with a market entry at $105,590, using $46 margin and 9X leverage, after canceling the lower limit order (source: Twitter, May 12, 2025). The target is set at MCR (Minimum Collateral Ratio), signaling a high-risk, high-reward trading approach. Traders should monitor liquidation risk and volatility at these price levels, and this trade setup highlights the appeal of high-leverage crypto trading strategies during periods of increased market activity.

According to @EmberCN, prominent trader @qwatio has opened a high-leverage short position in Bitcoin and Lido DAO on Hyperliquid. The trader used $2.683 million USDC as margin for a 40x short on 888.8 BTC (valued at $92.93 million) with an entry price of $104,094 and a liquidation price at $105,689. Additionally, a 10x short on 1 million LDO tokens ($1.1 million) was initiated at $1.08. These trades highlight significant bearish sentiment and introduce major liquidation risk close to the current BTC price. Market participants should watch for increased volatility and possible short squeezes near the $105,000 zone as large positions could trigger rapid price movements. This high-profile move reflects growing interest in leveraged trading on Hyperliquid and may influence Bitcoin derivatives markets. Source: @EmberCN via Twitter, May 12, 2025.

According to Crypto Rover, a trader executed a 40X leveraged long position on Bitcoin and currently holds an unrealized profit of $5.4 million. This substantial gain highlights the ongoing high volatility and liquidity within the BTC market, as well as the opportunities and risks associated with high-leverage trading on major exchanges (source: Crypto Rover Twitter, May 10, 2025). For active traders, this event underscores the importance of monitoring large leveraged positions, which can significantly impact short-term price movements and liquidation cascades in the cryptocurrency market.

According to Lookonchain, a trader deposited 3.36 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened a 25x leveraged short position on ETH, now totaling 41,947 ETH (worth $92 million) with $658,000 in unrealized profit. The position’s liquidation price is $2,247.1. This high-leverage trade indicates significant bearish sentiment and could influence ETH price volatility in the near term, prompting traders to closely monitor open interest and liquidation levels for potential cascading effects (Source: Lookonchain).
