「BTC OG」 and two affiliated addresses synchronized bearish views yesterday, realizing a short-term profit of over 7 million and have taken profit.
BlockBeats News, October 23, according to on-chain AI analysis tool CoinBob (@CoinbobAI_bot), the "BTC OG" whale (0xb31) closed a short position of over $100 million in BTC at 23:00 yesterday. Then, at around 9:00 today at a Bitcoin price of about $108,000, the whale fully closed the remaining $140 million BTC short position, realizing a profit of $6.39 million.
In addition, the associated address of "BTC OG" (0xc2a) opened another 18x BTC short position at 22:00 yesterday and continued to add to it. By 3:00 this morning, the whale accumulated a nominal position worth about $110 million in BTC shorts. Subsequently, at 7:00 this morning at the price low, the whale took profit of about $780,000. At the time of writing, both addresses no longer hold any positions, and the contract account still retains about $80 million.
According to market analysis, at 5:00 today, possibly influenced by the news of "Biden to announce Russian sanctions within a day," international oil prices and gold prices rose, leading to a brief decline in BTC price.
