Another big fish about to be liquidated? A 5x full-position long lost 20 million, this is the consequence of leverage.

6.9 billion confrontation, the short side makes a net profit of 77 million. This guy's 5x ETH long position is floating with a loss of 20 million, really a full-on gamble...

Shorts are running wild, and the bulls have really been buried this time. That whale went all-in on ETH with 5x leverage, losing 20 million in unrealized losses just like that. I can't help but sweat for it. High leverage is like this—just a one-percent difference almost takes away all your assets.

Oh no, this whale buddy is having a tough time. A 5x full position long is directly floating at a loss of 20 million. How strong must his mentality be? The bears are making a killing this round. With 6.9 billion in confrontation, the bears still hold the advantage. Long traders have been suffering these past two days. That guy really opened a 5x position at 3147. Now every dip is worth millions in blood. This is exactly why I’m too scared to play with leverage. Even whales can't hold on. It seems this round of the market isn't that simple. Gambler mentality is harmful. Contracts like these are really only profitable for a very few people.
