Crypto Whale Risks $17M in BTC and SOL High-Leverage Bet
The on-chain statistics disclose that the crypto whale, “0xdf1…6f0b0,” set maximum leverage on the Bitcoin ($BTC) and Solana ($SOL) long positions. Specifically, the trader used all the 100,000 $SOL ($8.56M) and 1,000 $BTC ($8.56M) present in holdings to place high-leverage bets. Thus, the aggressive move of setting maximum leverage resulted in a partial liquidation. The respective development underscores the substantial dangers and volatility of high-leverage crypto trading.
As the data reveals, the whale entered the $BTC long position at the level of $67,166.90 and selected $67,227.45 as a break-even point. At the same time, the whale opened the $SOL long position at the $78.53 mark while setting the $78.56 as the break-even point. Nonetheless, surprising the whale, Bitcoin plunged to $66,548.00, and $SOL spiked to $85.38. This led to mixed results for the holder.
Profit Hits $438,253.56 While Loss Surges to $396,108.92
According to Lookonchain, the whale set $66,204.07 as the liquidation threshold for the Bitcoin long position. Concurrently, the liquidation threshold for the whale’s $SOL long position was $81.90. The leverage for the $BTC position was set 40x, while the $SOL position’s leverage was 20x. Nevertheless, the whale witnessed mixed results of profits and losses. The $SOL position led to a profit of $438,253.56 while the $BTC position incurred a $396,108.92 loss.

BTC 15-minute sharp decline of 0.90%: liquidity gap area and macro risk aversion resonate, triggering short-term selling pressure
On March 5, 2026, from 16:00 to 16:15 (UTC), Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a -0.90% return within a short time window, with the price ranging from 70,800.8 to 71,653.9 USDT, and an amplitude of 1.19%. This anomaly occurred amid heightened market attention, with volatility significantly increasing, investor sentiment turning cautious, and trading volume and on-chain activity remaining high, intensifying short-term trading pressure.
The main driver of this anomaly is that BTC is in a "gap zone" — meaning liquidity above 72,000 USDT is extremely thin, with only about 1% of circulation.
