Brent oil prices have risen above $110, prompting significant trading adjustments. According to BlockBeats, Hyperinsight monitoring revealed that the 'Strategy Counterparty' (0x94d) has fully closed its Brent oil long positions, which were part of an $80 million 'long oil, short BTC' strategy. The positions, initially valued at $39.5 million with an average entry price of $100.8, yielded a profit of $3.71 million. Following the closure of the oil long positions, the released margin was used to increase a 40x leveraged short position on Bitcoin, raising the position size to $49.92 million at an average price of $69,137, with an unrealized profit of $420,000 (34%). The hedge strategy was initiated on April 1, when Bitcoin briefly surpassed $69,000, and both Brent and WTI crude oil prices fell below $100.
