The bull market hasn't returned, but renowned trader Machi Big Brother made money on the rebound in early 2026! Today, he closed his 40x leveraged Bitcoin (BTC) long position and realized a profit of approximately $1.53 million. He then quickly shifted his funds to Ethereum (ETH) and HYPE tokens in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, continuing to long while riding the wave of success.
Exit all 40x BTC positions.
According to Hyperliquid data , Huang Licheng successfully reversed his fortunes this week using high leverage, netting $1.53 million. He took profits when Bitcoin was consolidating at high levels, and after securing the gains, he established a 25x leveraged long position of approximately 7,100 ETH at an average price of around $2,987. At this leverage, a price drop of about 4% would trigger liquidation, posing a significant risk.
Previously, his position had incurred unrealized losses of $230,000 to $375,000, but Machi Big Brother did not reduce his holdings. In addition to Ethereum, he opened a 10x leverage position on the Hyperliquid ecosystem token HYPE and gradually increased his holdings to 25,888.88 tokens, with an average cost of approximately $24.50.
Despite the selling pressure from unlocking HYPE and the recent price fluctuations between $24.7 and $26.2, Huang Licheng has chosen to go against the trend and intend to capture the excess returns that the agreement may bring.
