The crypto whale codenamed "Set 10 Big Targets" resurfaced after four days of silence, stating: "I will look for opportunities to cover my long positions next. This round of trend has been more violent than I originally imagined, so we can be bolder in our expectations. It’s not too late to enter the market at $80,000 or even above $80,000; there’s still room to run. The $100,000 mark will likely be hit earlier than I anticipated. We’ll re-assess how far this trend can go once we reach $100,000." Earlier today, BTC broke through the stop-loss price of $80,500 set by the whale. If his positions remain unchanged, he is currently sitting on an unrealized loss of $9.86 million.
