Prominent Macro Analyst: Liquidity Easing Requires Nuclear-Grade Money Printing, Short-Term Bearish on Bitcoin

2025.12.20 11:32:08

**Bitcoin: Luke Gromen Shifts to Short-Term Bearish (Dec 20) – Key Notes** On December 20th, Luke Gromen—founder of Forest for the Trees and a macroeconomic analyst—told *The Monetary Matters Network* podcast he’s now short-term bearish on Bitcoin, despite being long-term bullish (he bought most of his position below $30k in late 2022/early 2023 and has never sold). His reasons for the shift: 1. Bitcoin remains highly correlated with tech stocks, but future AI competition’s bottleneck is **electricity** (not semiconductors) → dim outlook for both tech and Bitcoin. 2. Bitcoin has failed to break out relative to gold, and the future liquidity environment is: *“Unless it’s nuclear-grade money printing, it’s tightening.”* 3. Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin (a risk 2–9 years out). Gromen also emphasized Tether’s moves as critical: the firm recently invested in AI and gold, and its **gold balance sheet position now exceeds its Bitcoin holdings**.

A spread trader allegedly failed to adjust their position in time, resulting in the liquidation of BTC short positions valued at $10.16 million.

According to TradingBeats' monitoring, a short-term rally in Bitcoin (BTC) triggered liquidations totaling $65.6 million in short positions on Hyperliquid. Among these, the BTC short position of 122.88 BTC held by an address starting with 0xec0b was fully force-closed by the system in two rounds, with a liquidation volume of approximately $10.165 million, marking the largest single liquidation on the platform. This BTC short position was opened on September 4, with an average entry price of around $81,335.90, and held for about 17 days. The average execution price of the forced liquidation was roughly $82,720.70, meaning BTC had risen only about 1.7% from its entry cost, resulting in a realized loss of approximately $170,200. Meanwhile, the address’s long Ethereum (ETH) position remains open. It currently holds 7,007.8 ETH in long positions, valued at around $18.951 million, with an average entry price of about $2,065.97 and an unrealized profit of roughly $4.473 million. The address previously held a simultaneous long ETH / short BTC position, a spread trade essentially betting on ETH’s relative strength against BTC. However, during BTC’s short-term rally, the short side hit the liquidation threshold first, forcing the original position pair to be unwound.

Bitcoin surges sharply, Garrett Jin’s unrealized profit exceeds $7.76 million, while Abraxas, the largest on-chain Bitcoin short position holder, sees its unrealized loss widening.

According to TradingBeats' monitoring, Bitcoin briefly broke through $84,000. The only remaining contract position under Garrett Jin’s account — a 3x Bitcoin long order — has now generated an unrealized profit of $7.76 million. However, it’s a mixed picture: a long-term ETH “diamond hand” held a Bitcoin short order worth $10.16 million that was liquidated half an hour ago. Additionally, Abraxas Capital, the largest holder of Bitcoin short positions on Hyperliquid, reported unrealized losses of $23.51 million and $17.11 million respectively for its two Bitcoin short addresses.
