According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa) on Twitter, a major Ethereum (ETH) whale has established a 25x leveraged short position worth $14.38 million, with an average entry price of $2,410.17 and a liquidation price at $2,399.2, just $17 above the current spot price of $2,382.8. The position amounts to 6,037.44 ETH, and is currently showing an unrealized profit of $169,000. The narrow margin to liquidation signals heightened volatility risk, which could trigger swift liquidations and price movements in the ETH and broader crypto market. Traders should closely monitor price action around the $2,400 level as large liquidation events can lead to rapid market swings. Source: Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Twitter, May 19, 2025.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa) on Twitter, a major crypto whale who deposited 2.96 million USDC on May 17 and aggressively traded with high leverage has suffered severe losses. The whale's 25x short position on 41,927 ETH resulted in a $2.46 million realized loss. A subsequent 40x long on 166 BTC lost $175,000 in under an hour. The whale then opened another 25x ETH short with 3,487 ETH, currently showing an unrealized profit of $122,000. These high-leverage moves and rapid losses highlight the risks of extreme leverage in crypto markets, which can trigger volatility and impact ETH and BTC liquidity and price action for other traders (Source: Twitter @ai_9684xtpa).
