Odaily Planet Daily News: Whale “Set 10 Big Goals First” posted on X platform, forwarding Michael Saylor's tweet about Strategy's latest capital structure adjustment, stating that last month he judged that around $58,000 for BTC was the bottom of this cycle, with Strategy being one of his key references. When Strategy broke the expectation of “buy-only, never sell” and began adjusting its BTC and dollar reserves to optimize its capital structure, he already saw this as a very important signal at the time.

But the market ultimately gave its answer. “Buy-only, never sell” was broken, and BTC dropped to $58,000; afterward, compounded by bearish factors like hardware wallet security concerns that were severe enough to dent market confidence, the $60,000 level ultimately held.

He stated that going forward, he will closely monitor whether Strategy resumes consecutive BTC purchases, and will treat such behavior as a high-weight signal.

Odaily News: The whale "Set 10 Big Goals First" posted on X, stating that it will look for opportunities to rebuild BTC long positions. This upward trend has been more intense than previously expected, leading to an upward revision of expectations for the subsequent market.

It noted that even entering the market after BTC rises to $80,000 or higher would not be too late, as there is still room for further upside. It also predicts that BTC is likely to reach $100,000 sooner than previously anticipated. Once BTC climbs to $100,000, it will reassess the potential upside of this trend.

According to Odaily, data from CoinGlass shows that in the past 4 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network reached $85.8868 million, with long positions bearing the brunt of the losses. Specifically, long position liquidations totaled approximately $73.6149 million, while short position liquidations amounted to around $12.2718 million.

Additionally, BTC liquidations reached $41.1028 million, while ETH liquidations totaled approximately $13.7734 million.

Odaily Planet Daily News CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on X, stating that with the recent rise in ETH, whales of various sizes have returned to floating profits. However, current unrealized profits remain relatively limited, and no significant profit-taking pressure has yet formed.

Data shows that the unrealized profit/loss ratio for addresses holding 1,000 to 10,000 ETH stands at 0.075, while that for addresses holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH is 0.16. For large whales holding over 100,000 ETH, the ratio reaches 0.38.

This indicator measures unrealized profit or loss by comparing the value of ETH at the time of its last transfer with its current value, providing insight into the overall profitability or loss of large holders.
