Garrett Jin Closes 276 BTC Long, Still Holds 1,592 BTC

The closure of a fraction of a large BTC long, while retaining the bulk, signals a cautious trimming rather than a directional reversal. The realized profit is marginal against the substantial funding costs accrued over three months, underscoring how carry expenses can erode the net return of prolonged leveraged positions. This matters for market watchers as it highlights the persistent drag of funding rates on long-held positions, even when the underlying price moves favorably. The open question is whether sustained funding costs will prompt further unwinding among large holders, which could add selling pressure in the near term.
