#Ethereum Pectra Upgrade

Whale Opens Huge Bitcoin Long Position! Is the Bull Season Starting?
A crypto whale opened a massive long position of 136.91 million dollars on Bitcoin (long). This position was taken with 40x leverage and has led to significant speculation in the crypto community. The size of the position is equivalent to 1.420 BTC, and the investor opened the trade at 96,629 dollars. The liquidation level was determined to be 87,638 dollars.
This high-risk move reflects a deep confidence that Bitcoin will rise in the short term. At the time of the update, the position was experiencing an unrealized loss of approximately $244,800.
The investor also incurred a funding fee exceeding $26,000. This indicates that he is targeting the upcoming liquidity wave in a planned manner. Crypto analyst Cedric Beau commented on this move: "Leverage at this level is utilized by someone who believes that the liquidity wave will arrive in days, not weeks."
Target for Bitcoin Price is 120,000 Dollars
This aggressive 40x leveraged trade coincides with a period when Bitcoin is trying to retest the $100,000 level and reignites speculation about long-term potential in the markets. Famous crypto investor Peter Brandt supports the optimistic sentiment by predicting that Bitcoin could reach the range of $120,000 to $150,000 by August.
The whale's large position indicates a bullish expectation not only for Bitcoin but also for altcoins. Other investors in the market are similarly reflecting this confidence by opening bold long positions.
Feeling of Rise in XRP Futures Trading
In support of this scenario, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, 71.54% of XRP investors on Bnb Futures are currently in long positions. The long/short ratio stands at 2.51, indicating widespread optimism among futures traders.
The retail-weighted futures market for XRP is reacting with a confidence similar to that in this highly leveraged position in Bitcoin.
Bull Signals on Ethereum
A similar table is also valid for Ethereum. Last week, Ethereum saw outflows of over 380 million dollars from exchanges; this indicates an increasing trend of self-custody and a tightening of supply.
According to CryptoQuant data, there has been a 3% increase in the number of large investors since August 2024. This has reversed a long-standing downward trend. Analyst Darkost refers to this as "smart money accumulation" and supports it with the positive reversal in Net Taker Volume data, along with the stable number of active addresses.
All this data reveals that Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum all have a positive macro movement expectation at the same time. The whale's massive BTC position and the increasing optimism in XRP and ETH could be the first signs of a broader cryptocurrency rally in the markets.
