The post James Wynn Down To $5K As Crypto Recovers, Doubles Down On Bitcoin Shorts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

While most cryptocurrency investors welcomed the market recovery following the potential end of the US government shutdown, some short sellers were caught off guard by the rebound. The crypto market recovery saw popular high-leverage trader James Wynn’s main Hyperliquid account liquidated multiple times during the past 24 hours, with his wallet’s value sinking to just $5,422, according to Hyperdash data. The unexpected recovery liquidated Wynn 12 times in the last 12 hours, resulting in 45 liquidations over the past two months, according to blockchain data platform Lookonchain. Before the crypto market recovery, Wynn was running multiple Bitcoin (BTC) leveraged short positions, which are de facto bets on the price of Bitcoin declining.
