The total value of the portfolio involved in the trade amounts to a substantial $260 million and accounted for over 30% of the daily trading volume.

The fact this investor bought an equal number of put options for the next month, that's to say 1500 for April fuels speculations about a large dip right after or right before the Halving happening next month(around 18th April). It seems big whales are already anticipating it and are not planning to hodl their Bitcoins. So I think we shouldn't expect this bull run to continue during several months now.
