According to Ai 姨, a major Ethereum whale has reduced their loan position from 64,792 ETH to 56,995 ETH to avoid liquidation. Since the first drop yesterday morning, the whale sold 7,797.63 ETH and repaid 14.116 million DAI. The latest repayment was made 50 minutes ago, lowering the liquidation price to $1563.77. This move highlights the significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market, with ETH experiencing a 10.5% swing.

According to @EmberCN, Ethereum's price has dropped to $1,760, causing concerns about a potential liquidation of a significant ETH position. However, the wallet holder of 64,800 ETH has proactively reduced their position by selling 4,760 ETH for 8.64 million DAI, thus lowering the liquidation price to $1,639.

According to Mihir (@RhythmicAnalyst), today is particularly challenging for short traders as they are facing liquidations due to market movements. This indicates a significant upward shift in the market that is catching many traders off guard, leading to forced closure of short positions. Traders should monitor their positions closely and adjust strategies to manage potential risks associated with rapid price changes.

According to Reetika (@ReetikaTrades), the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant liquidation event, which she referred to humorously as 'liberation.' This suggests a notable shift in positions, potentially impacting market liquidity and volatility. Traders should monitor for price fluctuations and adjust strategies accordingly.

According to The Data Nerd, a significant long position of $3.79 million on Binance has been liquidated, purportedly involving Binance and Wintermute. This liquidation may impact market sentiment and trading strategies, highlighting risks in maintaining large positions on the platform.

According to Lookonchain, Binance updated the leverage and margin tiers for tokens including $ACT, causing a significant market event where a whale was liquidated for $3.79M at a price of $0.1877. Following this, the price of $ACT has dropped by more than 50%, indicating a major impact on market dynamics and potential trading opportunities in the $ACT market.

According to Ai 姨, the second largest Ethereum whale has strategically avoided liquidation by adding 2,600 ETH as collateral and repaying 320,000 DAI of their loan. This increased their safety margin compared to the largest whale. Currently, the whale has collateralized 63,410 ETH and borrowed 74.42 million DAI, with a liquidation price at $1,701.83, providing a significant buffer.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a major cryptocurrency whale has exchanged 1.608 million USDT for DAI, using part of it to repay loans. The whale currently holds 64,792 ETH as collateral against a 66.51 million DAI loan. The liquidation threshold has been adjusted to $1745, providing a $40 cushion from liquidation.

According to Ai 姨, a whale with a $230 million lending position is nearing liquidation, bringing attention to on-chain liquidation mechanisms. The whale's position is at risk because the collateral value is only 58%, which is below the required threshold. Despite the CEX price falling below the liquidation price, the position has not been liquidated due to differing mechanisms used by CEXs. Debank's health indicator is crucial for understanding these thresholds.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a whale collateralized $117 million worth of WETH and borrowed 68.13 million DAI, which is 58% of the collateral's value, causing a near liquidation scenario. This is due to MakerDAO's 'minimum collateralization ratio,' a core risk management mechanism designed to ensure system solvency and prevent bad debts from under-collateralization.

According to Ai 姨's recent thread, MakerDAO's on-chain lending product liquidation mechanism differs from centralized exchanges (CEX). The thread provides detailed insights into how MakerDAO handles liquidation, including examples of addresses nearing liquidation. This information is crucial for traders seeking to understand the risks and processes involved in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms compared to traditional exchanges. Ai 姨’s analysis can aid traders in making informed decisions regarding their lending strategies in the DeFi space.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), MakerDAO's liquidation mechanism is fundamentally different from those used by centralized exchanges. MakerDAO utilizes a decentralized process where collateral is auctioned off to the highest bidder, which contrasts with centralized exchanges that typically utilize a more instantaneous liquidation process to recover funds. This difference impacts how traders manage collateralized debt and risk, with MakerDAO's method potentially offering more time and flexibility. Source: Ai 姨 on Twitter.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), MakerDAO's use of an Oracle Security Module (OSM) causes delays in updating system prices, even when market prices drop below liquidation points. The system collects data from multiple authorized price feeds and calculates a median price via the Medianizer contract, introducing a delay of approximately 1 hour. This mechanism prevents immediate liquidation of large positions despite short-term market price drops.

According to PeckShieldAlert, an Ethereum address (0x0fb5...7319) experienced a significant liquidation after supplying 1.55K WETH and borrowing $1.5M USDT and 267.4K DAI. The liquidation resulted in the seizure of 621.06 WETH, valued at approximately $1.13M, triggered by a drop in WETH price to around $1,767.

According to @EmberCN, despite ETH's price falling below $1787.7, the liquidation threshold for a large position on Maker, liquidation was not triggered. This is because Maker's oracle updates prices hourly and only initiates liquidation when the oracle's current price drops below the liquidation price.

According to Lookonchain, 125,603 ETH valued at $229 million, held by two large investors on the Maker platform, are at risk of liquidation. The critical liquidation prices are set at $1,787.75 and $1,701.54. This poses potential implications for the market if ETH prices fall to these levels, triggering a significant liquidation event.

According to Lookonchain, two Ethereum whales holding 125,603 ETH (valued at $229 million) on the Maker platform are at risk of liquidation. The critical liquidation prices are set at $1,787.75 and $1,701.54, respectively, which could impact market dynamics significantly if breached.

According to EmberCN, several downward movements in ETH prices last night approached the liquidation thresholds of major holders but did not result in actual liquidation. The price dropped below the liquidation price of 64,800 ETH but quickly rebounded, with the oracle price update staying above the liquidation price of $1788, preventing liquidation. No actions were taken to lower the liquidation price.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), the ETH price on exchanges dropped to $1786, but MakerDAO whale positions were not liquidated due to the Oracle Security Module (OSM) used by MakerDAO. This system delays the update of actual system prices even when market prices fall below liquidation points, using a Medianizer contract to determine a reference price from multiple authorized feeds. This mechanism allows for a more stable trading environment and prevents immediate liquidations during rapid price fluctuations.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Ethereum is experiencing volatility with potential liquidations of two significant whale positions totaling $84.4 million. Address 0xab7...e2313 has collateralized 64,792 WETH to borrow 68.09 million DAI, with a health factor of 1.02 and a liquidation price of $1,786.65. Address 0x6bb...830b3 has collateralized 608,104,792 WETH to borrow 74.73 million DAI, with a health factor of 1.03 and a liquidation price of $1,781.99.
