币界网报道：A crypto trader known as "AguilaTrades" has doubled his Bitcoin short position with 20x leverage, betting against BTC's price amid market volatility. The trader revealed his strategy on social media, stating he entered the short at $42,500 and expanded it as Bitcoin fluctuated between $41,000 and $43,000. AguilaTrades, who previously profited from similar high-leverage shorts during the 2022 bear market, remains bearish despite Bitcoin's recent rebound above $43,000. He argues that macroeconomic factors, including potential Fed rate hikes and weakening risk appetite, justify his position. However, some analysts caution that excessive leverage could backfire if BTC experiences a sharp rally, noting that funding rates remain neutral rather than excessively bearish. The trader's move highlights the ongoing divergence in market sentiment as institutional inflows via spot Bitcoin ETFs contrast with retail traders' speculative plays.
