Two bitcoin wallets, possibly controlled by the same trader, closed a long position held for nearly two months, securing an $11.6 million profit as bitcoin surged from $58,000 to above $81,000. This exit coincided with a massive rally fueled by $225 million in short liquidations and optimism around U.S. Treasury bond buybacks signaling a new bull market. The move highlights profit-taking by large holders amid bitcoin's strongest quarter since 2021. Market watchers will closely monitor if the $80,000 level holds as support or if profit-taking pressures push prices down in the coming days.
