According to TradingView data, margin longs have climbed 42% over the past three months while bitcoin has fallen 26%, highlighting continued confidence even as bitcoin is on track for its weakest monthly performance since June 2022.
This marks the third time since September 2024 that the Bitfinex whale has expanded their margin long position to around 70,000 BTC. The previous two instances aligned with major market bottoms.
The first occurred in August 2024 during the yen carry trade unwind when bitcoin fell toward $49,000, followed by a reduction in the position as bitcoin rallied to $100,000 after President Trump won the election in November 2024.
The second occurred in April 2025 during the tariff tantrum when bitcoin dropped to about $76,000, then rebounded toward $120,000 in June as the whale reduced exposure. Over the past five years, the bitfinex whale has also timed key reversals in the 2022 bear market and gradually reduced their long exposure throughout the 2023 rally.

Crypto Markets Today: Fear Dominates as Altcoins Lag, Bitcoin Tests Key Levels

What to know:
- The Fear and Greed Index sits at 12/100, signaling "extreme fear."
- Altcoin liquidity remains thin, with shallow market depth in tokens like TON and DOT exacerbating volatility and forced selling.
- Bitcoin faces a critical test, with rejection below $95,000 potentially confirming a fourth lower high, while a drop toward $81,000 risks another broad market sell-off.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be
The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
