AguilaTrades Opens 250 BTC 40x Short After $1.31M Close, Losses Hit $37.29M
The striking detail is not the profitable close but the immediate re-leverage into a 40x short while cumulative losses sit near $37 million — a pattern that reads as conviction-driven risk-taking rather than risk management. For market watchers, a position of this size and leverage is a liquidation magnet, and its unwinding could amplify short-term volatility in either direction. Whether this trader's aggressive stance reflects a broader cohort of leveraged shorts, or is an outlier, is the open question worth tracking.
