Bitcoin and altcoins had a good start to 2026, but then experienced a pullback. While $BTC and most altcoins struggled to break through key resistance levels, whales continued to make significant transactions.

According to Lookonchain’s report, a whale who opened long positions in Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), Solana ($SOL), and $XRP is currently $9.4 million in profit.

Lookonchain said this whale is known in the market as a “whale who sold 255 $BTC to open a short position.”

Accordingly, the giant whale’s long positions are as follows:

“1,210 $BTC (worth $109.5 million)
32,474 $ETH (worth $100.6 million)
503,778 $SOL (worth $69.9 million)
14.26 million $XRP (worth $29.9 million)”

Total profits have exceeded $9.4 million so far.

Whales seem to be moving towards long positions these days. Accordingly, one whale has opened a long position in Ethereum.

According to Lookonchain data, the trader “pension-usdt.eth” closed a short position of 20,100 $ETH ($62.34 million) with a profit of $395,000.

The whale then went long, opening a 3X long position with the same 20,000 $ETH ($62 million). Its total profit so far has exceeded $22.38 million.
