    James Wynn takes $5.3m loss, bets $1.2b on Bitcoin lifeline

    Prominent cryptocurrency trader James Wynn has liquidated his long positions with Ethereum and Sui at a loss of approximately $5.3 million as market conditions reversed.

    The high-profile investor subsequently increased his Bitcoin (BTC) exposure, which currently stands at 11,070 BTC, worth roughly $1.19 billion.

    According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, Wynn’s aggressive position sizing has resulted in unrealized losses exceeding $20 million, including funding costs. The massive Bitcoin position faces liquidation risk at $104,820.

    As the market dropped, top trader @JamesWynnReal closed his long positions on $ETH and $SUI, losing ~$5.3M.

    He then doubled down on $BTC longs, pushing his position to 11,070 $BTC($1.19B) — now down over $20M including funding fees.

    Major Bitcoin support zone identified at $107-108k

    Cryptocurrency analyst CrediBULL Crypto has highlighted a crucial support zone between $107,000-$108,000 that could decide the fate of Wynn’s billion-dollar position.

    The analyst emphasized that maintaining this price range is essential for preventing a liquidation that could pressure Bitcoin toward the $105,000 level.

    An update on everyone’s favorite whale and my thoughts on LTF $BTC PA to go with it:

    After taking partial profits Mr. Wynn re-opened the position higher up and added on even more size.

    Position is now at 1.2B with a liq price of 105k.

    “The green zone at 107-108k must hold for the 1.2B position to avoid liquidation,” the analyst noted. A successful defense of the $107,000-$108,000 range might allow another attempt at new all-time highs. However, the analyst mentioned that a breakdown could result in forced selling pressure.

    The trading activity is a major change in Wynn’s portfolio allocation following his recent success with Pepe (PEPE) trades. Earlier this week, the trader closed all his PEPE long positions for a total profit of $25.19 million.

    However, as the market reversed after Bitcoin hit a new all-time high, his Ethereum (ETH) and Sui (SUI) long positions couldn’t be sustained.
