【BlockBeats】On January 22nd at 13:41, an on-chain movement drew attention. A whale wallet marked starting with 0x9311 made a move in the leveraged market—opening a new BTC long position with 20x leverage, with a single trade of 125 BTC, equivalent to approximately $11.24 million at market price.

The risk indicators of this operation are noteworthy: the current position is already showing an unrealized loss of about $9,978, with an average price stuck at $89,900, and a liquidation price set at $83,000. In other words, if BTC drops below $83,000 from the current price, this 125 BTC long position will be liquidated.

High leverage means greater volatility risk. This whale clearly has a short-term market outlook and is heavily betting on a bullish move. However, in the highly volatile crypto market, such large positions can often trigger chain reactions.

Using 20x leverage to go all-in directly, this guy really dares to play. The liquidation price is 83,000, and a slight pullback at this level would be disastrous.

Playing with 20x leverage and only a 5,000 yuan liquidation price difference—this guy really dares to go that far.
