Bitcoin saw a mild bounce during early trading in Asia, rising 3% to briefly touch $110,256 before settling at $109,652, CryptoSlate data showed. This uptick followed a weekend pullback from recent record highs.Market analysts suggest that BTC’s price trajectory remains solid, backed by favorable regulatory developments and steady institutional participation.Valentin Fournier, Lead Analyst at Blockhead, told CryptoSlate:“The rebound shows the current market’s dependence on institutional and corporate flows. Without them, short-term rallies are at risk of losing momentum.”However, while the broader market shows signs of resilience, the rebound triggered significant liquidation activity.One high-stakes trader on decentralized platform Hyperliquid was forced to exit a $1 billion short position, illustrating the volatility-driven risks tied to extreme leverage.High-stakes Bitcoin bet on HyperliquidOver the weekend, crypto trader James Wynn became the center of attention after placing two consecutive billion-dollar bets on Bitcoin.On May 24, he opened a long position worth roughly $1.25 billion, using 40x leverage and expecting the price to surge to between $118,000 and $121,000.However, that bullish bet was short-lived. He closed the trade at a $13 million loss and pivoted to a bearish short position of equal size in less than 24 hours.But BTC’s price rebound also left that bearish trade underwater, costing him another $15.87 million in just 15 hours.Despite the back-to-back losses, Wynn remains profitable overall.Blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain reported that the trader withdrew $28 million USDC from Hyperliquid and ended the weekend with a net profit of $25.2 million.Over the past 75 days, he has completed 38 trades on the platform, winning 17 of them and contributing $2.31 million in trading fees to Hyperliquid.Meanwhile, Wynn is back in the game as of press time. Lookonchain reported that he has reopened a 40x long position worth $75.34 million (684 BTC), with a liquidation price of $103,120.He also entered a $20 million long on memecoin PEPE at 10x leverage. As of his latest update, the position shows an unrealized gain of about $434,867.Mentioned in this articleLatest Alpha Market Report
