On-chain data has revealed that cryptocurrency investor James Wynn has entered a bold new phase with his portfolio. According to recent reports, Wynn opened a fresh long position in Ethereum with a 25x leverage while maintaining his existing 40x leveraged long position in Bitcoin. These aggressive moves follow Wynn’s recent closure of short positions in Bitcoin and Solana, with market watchers keeping a close eye on his strategies.
Insights from Onchain Lens and Lookonchain indicate that Wynn first closed his Bitcoin and Solana shorts, raking in a profit of $6,400. Immediately after, he executed significant long trades—opening positions with 6.05 BTC and 5.3 ETH. The size of his Ethereum trade stands at around $8,500, while his Bitcoin exposure is valued at approximately $373,000.
Data shared by Lookonchain shows that James Wynn transitioned from short to long positions, pocketing $6,400 in profits before leveraging to the maximum in new long trades in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
James Wynn is regarded as one of the most closely watched investors in the crypto space, especially among those who study large on-chain transactions. His size and use of high leverage mean Wynn’s moves often become focal points for market speculation and sentiment.
At the time the news broke, Wynn’s Ethereum position was showing an unrealized gain of roughly $5,100. In contrast, his Bitcoin position hovered perilously close to its liquidation threshold at $59,841.13—a warning that even a minor reversal in Bitcoin’s price could trigger an automatic closure of his trade.
When Wynn shifted strategies, Ethereum was trading near $1,594. This figure sits below both the 50-day exponential moving average ($1,797) and the 200-day EMA ($2,053), suggesting that the broader technical outlook for Ethereum was on shaky ground.
Mini glossary: The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a technical indicator that measures whether an asset is overbought or oversold. MACD tracks price momentum and trend changes; the so-called “golden cross” is sometimes linked to a bullish reversal by analysts.
Despite the weak overall technicals, some indicators suggested a possible short-term rebound. Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index stood at 29.55—deep in oversold territory. Meanwhile, the MACD showed a developing golden cross at -85.85, hinting at a potential, though far from certain, shift in momentum.
Ethereum’s price was fluctuating within the Bollinger bands, with key support at $1,462 and resistance around $1,864. The first major obstacle in the event of a rally would be the 50-day EMA. However, the use of 25x leverage means even minor downward moves could rapidly erase Wynn’s current gains on Ethereum.
Wynn’s Bitcoin trade appeared even more precarious, as the 40x leverage left little room for error. With a liquidation price set at $59,841.13, even slight downward fluctuations in Bitcoin’s value could potentially force an automatic close of the position.
To date, Wynn has not disclosed any specific exit strategies for these positions. As of June 7th, on-chain analysts confirmed that both trades remain active, with the Ethereum position in profit while the Bitcoin trade is under close observation by market watchers.
