Whale Places $91M BTC Sell Order with 40x Leverage

The signal here is less the size than the leverage: a 40x position on a $91 million order implies a very tight liquidation band, so the trade's real risk is a forced unwind rather than a directional view. That cuts both ways — the same order that reads as bearish positioning could be a hedge, and a sharp move either direction could turn it into fuel for the opposite trade. Whether this position is closed or liquidated, and whether other large leveraged shorts follow, is the open question.
