A BTC short whale placed 100 'reduce-only' buy orders worth about $28.3 million across the $76,700–$76,800 range on September 1, according to TradingBeats. The orders are set to repurchase 369 BTC, covering the address's entire existing short position. The wallet is currently shorting 369.058 BTC at 5x leverage, with a position value of roughly $28.9 million and an average entry price of $73,863.9. With BTC trading at $78,444, the short position is showing a floating loss of about $1.69 million, a return of roughly -31%. The reduce-only orders carry a weighted price of approximately $76,750, meaning BTC must fall about 2.2% from current levels to reach the fill range. Should all orders fill, the address would still record a loss of roughly $1.07 million, but its floating loss would narrow by about $623,000.
