A trader known for making huge profits after making speculative trades on falling Bitcoin and Ethereum-ETH prices before the recent market decline – has opened bearish trades again despite current signs of market recovery.
Blockchain data – released on Tuesday by the Lookonchain platform – revealed that this investor entered into a bearish speculative trade for 3,440 Bitcoins priced at $115,783 for a total value of $392.67 million, bringing his unrealized profits to approximately $5.7 million, with a liquidation level at $128,030. Despite the currency’s price rebound, Bitcoin reached around $115,000 over the weekend, but the trader significantly increased his position size, showing his renewed belief that the decline is under control.

The “Trump Insider” whale is doubling its stakes and speculation is rife about an upcoming market upheaval.
To confirm his seriousness, the trader injected approximately $80 million of USD Coin-USDC liquidity into the Hyperliquide platform, indicating that the trader is doubling down on the continuation of the downtrend.
Market watchers are currently wondering whether the move is an attempt to shake up those with weak positions speculating on the rise, or whether it is a coordinated and deliberate move aimed at triggering a further decline.
This same wallet caused a huge uproar in the past, when it opened the largest bearish trades moments before Donald Trump announced new tariffs, sending the market into decline and reaping an estimated $160 million in profits.
This deal sparked widespread controversy over the existence of collusion between political signals and timing based on insider information, earning the trader the title of “Trump Insider” in the cryptocurrency community.
More hyperliquid whales join wave of bearish bets
The scene becomes more complicated as new whales join the bearish wave. Investor “0x9eec9” holds bearish positions worth $98 million spread across Dogecoin-DOGE, Ethereum, Pepe-PEPE, Ripple-XRP, and Aster-ASTER. At the same time, the whale “0x9263” bet $84 million in speculative trades on the decline in Solana-SOL and Bitcoin prices.
It is clear that these are not random bets by small speculators, but rather deliberate decisions by experienced players betting on a coordinated decline in the market.
Since the recent decline, we have seen an increase in hedging activity, which confirms the general pessimistic mood in the market.
Finally, the size and timing of these huge bets remains a pressing factor on the prices of Bitcoin and other digital currencies, especially in light of the return of sharp swings to the forefront.
