Over the last couple of weeks, the talk across the cryptocurrency market has been focused on a lone Bitcoin<\/a> whale on the crypto trading platform Bitfinex, who has been amassing a substantial long position in the crypto asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the recent decline in Bitcoin price, that trader\u2019s cumulative long position is now underwater by roughly $25 million. However, when looking at the trader\u2019s realized gains, it all could be part of his master plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market is as bearish as it gets on Bitcoin<\/a> and cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin. While the aforementioned altcoins fall into the negative for the year with the most recent drop across the market, Bitcoin flirts with the lowest levels of the $6,000 trading range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many traders, investors, and analysts alike are fearing the worst for Bitcoin, expecting it to either fall much deeper to find support, or possibly even set a new lower, bear market low.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there are a select few who remain steadfast in their bullishness and unfazed by the recent downtrend. One such trader has been dubbed a \u201cwhale\u201d by the crypto community, thanks to a massive long position being built by the trader<\/a> on popular cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex.<\/span><\/p>\n
