Massive Bitcoin Purchase Forecasts Price Surge to $121K by Next Week – Wynn Bets $1.25 Billion on Its Rise
In a recent turn of events, Bitcoin (BTC) has retreated to the $108,000 level, following a new all-time high. Amidst this dip, one notable investor, James Wynn, has placed a bet of $1.25 billion on BTC reaching $121,000 in the coming days, despite the volatile market conditions caused by President Donald Trump's tariff announcements.
Wynn, known for his high-stakes trades and jaw-dropping leverages, has increased his long position on BTC to a staggering 40x leverage. This move, executed during a rollercoaster week, nearly resulted in unrealized losses of $321 million for Wynn. Despite these losses, he remains optimistic and has set a target of $118k to $121k for the upcoming week.
According to market tracker Lookonchain, should BTC fall below $105,180, Wynn's position may be liquidated, leaving him just 3.5% away from significant losses. However, the trader's bullish demeanor remains unwavering, as evidenced by his recent tweet proclaiming his target and sharing a screenshot of a $4.2 million unrealized profit on one of his trades, which had earlier been $59 million underwater.
Critics, such as analyst Daan Crypto Trades, have labeled Wynn's trade as insanity, arguing that closing even a fraction of his position could alter the price of Bitcoin. Another market watcher, Innerdevcrypto, speculates that Wynn's public bravado might be an attempt to garner attention.
External factors, like Trump's latest tariff threats, have shaken global markets, causing Bitcoin to slip over 3%. The crypto intelligence platform Santiment has warning that traders are adopting a 'holding and 'hoping for the best' strategy due to a potential market downturn.
Amidst these market turbulences, Wynn has disposed of his ETH and SUI longs, resulting in a loss of $5.3 million. This move signals his increased focus on Bitcoin, an asset he seems to believe has potential for growth, despite the risks. The coming week promises to be interesting as the market watches to see if Wynn's $121,000 prediction for Bitcoin will come to fruition.
[UPDATE]More recent data from Lookonchain shows that Wynn has closed his entire $1.25 billion long position a few hours ago, causing a brief price dip for BTC on Hyperliquid.
