A pseudonymous trader named Evaded secured $4.6 million in profits by closing long positions in HYPE, ZEC, and ETH. Immediately after, the trader opened a large short position of 990 bitcoins worth about $74.84 million on Hyperliquid, which had already gained $783,000 in unrealized profits. This move signals a bearish outlook on Bitcoin, supported by recent market trends such as significant long liquidations, ETF outflows, and declining futures open interest. The market is closely watching macroeconomic factors, especially Federal Reserve policies, which could influence Bitcoin's near-term direction.
