Whale opens $90.9M 20x long position on Ethereum

A whale has opened a $90.9 million 20x long position on Ethereum. The Ethereum above $1,800 on April 16 market sits at 100% YES, and Ethereum above $1,700 on April 17 is at 100% YES.

Market reaction

These markets are pricing the whale’s bet as confirmation of current levels. However, actual trading volume is low: combined 24-hour face value is $0, meaning the whale’s move has not attracted retail follow-through. The term structure shows no movement across April 16 and 17, which matches the pricing certainty already baked in.

Why it matters

At 20x leverage, a relatively small price increase generates large returns on the position. The Bitcoin above $62,000 on April 17 market is also at 100% YES. If Ethereum breaks the $2,292–$2,500 resistance range, it would validate the whale’s directional bet. A YES share for Ethereum reaching $2,900 in April pays $1 if it resolves.

What to watch

The key levels are $2,292 and $2,500 resistance. Track whale wallet movements for any position changes or liquidation risk at this leverage ratio. Also monitor Vitalik Buterin’s communications for Ethereum upgrade announcements that could move price.
