In a new update, Lookonchain, the on-chain data monitoring platform, has drawn attention to a bitcoin whale that bought 1,768 BTC at a price of $74,603 per bitcoin before the bull market. At that entry price, the total value of the position was approximately 132 million dollars. The address, however, failed to sell at the best moment. When the market reached its high, the unrealized profit on the position was as much as 91 million dollars, based on Lookonchain's monitoring. Now, according to the latest on-chain data, that same position has swung to a loss of 19.7 million dollars. The tracker also shows that the wallet has transferred 114 BTC to the Kraken exchange. The transferred coins were valued at around 7.24 million dollars. Lookonchain said in its update that the bitcoin may be sold. The figures provided by Lookonchain point to a position that has moved from a large unrealized gain to a significant loss over time.
