- A Bitcoin whale with a 100% win rate in leveraged trades has boosted its BTC/ETH long positions to $296M, with $165M in BTC and $132M in ETH. - The whale alternates between long/short positions, recently adding 173.6 BTC at $110,680 and facing $1.17M in unrealized losses on BTC shorts. - Its 5x leveraged $62.4M ETH position yields $240K profit, making it Hyperliquid's second-largest ETH long with an entry price of $3,862.37. - Analysts highlight the whale's systematic approach but caution that past succe

whale, renowned for consistently successful leveraged trades, has further increased its long exposure to the cryptocurrency, bringing its total position close to $300 million, according to on-chain analyst Ai Auntie. In the early hours of October 26, the so-called "100% Win Rate Whale" acquired an additional 173.6

BTC

to its portfolio, boosting its BTC long holdings to 1,482.9 BTC—worth $165 million—at an average entry of $110,680.10. When combined with its $132 million ETH long, the whale’s aggregate notional value now surpasses $296 million, though unrealized profits currently stand at $2.97 million, as per

This aggressive accumulation comes after a week of calculated maneuvers. By October 24, the whale’s BTC long had already climbed above $144 million, with its ETH long at $129 million, totaling $274 million in exposure. However, by that date, the position had shifted from gains to a floating loss of $384,000,

observed. Such fluctuations underscore the whale’s dynamic liquidity management, as it alternates between long and short stances to exploit market swings.

On the short side, the whale temporarily raised its BTC short position to 666 coins ($74.43 million) on October 25, but now faces an unrealized deficit of $1.17 million, according to

. This stands in contrast to its recent achievement of securing $835,000 in profits after eight straight winning trades in late October, as highlighted by

Coinotag

. The whale’s disciplined strategy—marked by careful timing and risk management—has attracted analyst attention, though they warn that previous success does not ensure future results.

The whale’s ETH long was also notably increased on October 24, when it opened a 5x leveraged position worth $62.4 million, making it the second-largest ETH long on Hyperliquid. Entering at $3,862.37, this trade currently shows an unrealized gain of $240,000, according to

Lookonchain

While the whale’s moves reflect strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, market conditions remain volatile. Analysts emphasize that the whale’s tactics are based on real-time data and active liquidity management, rather than speculative predictions. As the crypto sector faces ongoing regulatory and macroeconomic challenges, the whale’s persistent activity may indicate growing institutional interest in leveraged trading strategies.
