【Block Rhythm】On the afternoon of January 23, on-chain data monitoring showed that a whale account placed a short order near a Bitcoin price of $89,420. This order is quite large—57.01 BTC with a leverage of 40x, and the entry price locked at $89,420.4. As of the monitoring time, this position has already realized a slight profit.
Interestingly, the trading method of this address appears very professional. It is not simply a single-asset bet but employs a multi-asset, high-leverage strategy, mainly reallocating funds between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two main cryptocurrencies. This operational logic is highly similar to the style of institutional quantitative teams—using cross-asset, high-leverage combined strategies to amplify returns. In plain terms, this is less like casual retail trading and more like precise calculations by professional funds.

40x leverage will eventually cause problems; making money this time means losing next time.

Playing with 40x leverage is a bit intense; a slight rebound can trigger liquidation.

Playing with 40x leverage, liquidation is probably the norm.

A 40x leverage takes real guts. Can this withstand the pullback?

The 40x leverage strategy is too aggressive; this move definitely resembles institutional tactics.

Playing with 40x leverage, one pullback and you're liquidated.
