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).

According to @EmberCN, a trader has aggressively increased their 25x short position on Ethereum, growing the position size from 2,636 ETH to 3,487 ETH as profits rolled over. The liquidation price has shifted from $2,480 to $2,453, indicating increased exposure and risk management adjustments. Such high-leverage trading can amplify both gains and losses, and this activity signals heightened volatility and potential for sharp ETH price movements, which is highly relevant for short-term crypto traders and market watchers (source: @EmberCN on Twitter, May 19, 2025).

According to @EmberCN, a trader's high-leverage BTC long position with 40x leverage was liquidated within 45 minutes after a minor price pullback, resulting in a $175,000 loss. Over two days, the trader's capital dropped from $2.96 million to just $250,000. The trader then opened a 25x short position in ETH at $2444, with a liquidation price of $2480, shorting 2636 ETH. This highlights the significant risks of high-leverage trading, which can lead to rapid capital erosion and forced liquidations, especially in volatile crypto markets. Such events can increase short-term volatility and impact liquidity, influencing both retail and institutional trading strategies (source: @EmberCN Twitter, May 19, 2025).

According to Gordon (@AltcoinGordon), sudden and large-scale liquidation events remain a significant risk for crypto traders, as depicted in his tweet referencing 'Every crypto bro's worst nightmare.' Such events often lead to sharp price declines and increased volatility, affecting major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum (source: @AltcoinGordon, Twitter, May 17, 2025). Traders are advised to implement robust risk management strategies and monitor exchange liquidation data to mitigate potential losses during market downturns. This scenario underscores the importance of stop-loss orders and portfolio diversification, particularly during high-leverage trading periods, which have historically led to cascading liquidations and amplified market corrections (source: CoinGlass Liquidation Data, 2024).

According to Lookonchain, trader '0x51d9' executed a high-risk 40x leveraged short position on Bitcoin (BTC), closing the trade for a $1.18 million profit (source: Lookonchain, May 12, 2025; hypurrscan.io/address/0x51d9). This large-scale leveraged short signals increased market volatility and highlights significant bearish momentum influencing BTC price movements. Crypto traders should monitor for potential liquidations and further price swings, as high-leverage actions often trigger cascading effects in the Bitcoin derivatives market.

According to @doctortraderr, a new BTC short position was opened as part of the '100-1k$ challenge,' with a market entry at $105,590, using $46 margin and 9X leverage, after canceling the lower limit order (source: Twitter, May 12, 2025). The target is set at MCR (Minimum Collateral Ratio), signaling a high-risk, high-reward trading approach. Traders should monitor liquidation risk and volatility at these price levels, and this trade setup highlights the appeal of high-leverage crypto trading strategies during periods of increased market activity.

According to @EmberCN, prominent trader @qwatio has opened a high-leverage short position in Bitcoin and Lido DAO on Hyperliquid. The trader used $2.683 million USDC as margin for a 40x short on 888.8 BTC (valued at $92.93 million) with an entry price of $104,094 and a liquidation price at $105,689. Additionally, a 10x short on 1 million LDO tokens ($1.1 million) was initiated at $1.08. These trades highlight significant bearish sentiment and introduce major liquidation risk close to the current BTC price. Market participants should watch for increased volatility and possible short squeezes near the $105,000 zone as large positions could trigger rapid price movements. This high-profile move reflects growing interest in leveraged trading on Hyperliquid and may influence Bitcoin derivatives markets. Source: @EmberCN via Twitter, May 12, 2025.

According to Crypto Rover, a trader executed a 40X leveraged long position on Bitcoin and currently holds an unrealized profit of $5.4 million. This substantial gain highlights the ongoing high volatility and liquidity within the BTC market, as well as the opportunities and risks associated with high-leverage trading on major exchanges (source: Crypto Rover Twitter, May 10, 2025). For active traders, this event underscores the importance of monitoring large leveraged positions, which can significantly impact short-term price movements and liquidation cascades in the cryptocurrency market.

According to Lookonchain, a trader deposited 3.36 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened a 25x leveraged short position on ETH, now totaling 41,947 ETH (worth $92 million) with $658,000 in unrealized profit. The position’s liquidation price is $2,247.1. This high-leverage trade indicates significant bearish sentiment and could influence ETH price volatility in the near term, prompting traders to closely monitor open interest and liquidation levels for potential cascading effects (Source: Lookonchain).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a prominent BTC whale who began leveraged long positions at $84,540 has increased their position again after two days, now holding $37.97 million in Bitcoin. Ten hours ago, the whale borrowed an additional 8.7 million USDT and bought 91.27 WBTC at an average price of $95,319.58. The current total position is 400.91 WBTC collateralized for 25.18 million USDT, with an average long entry of $89,919 and a liquidation price of $80,546. The wallet currently has an unrealized profit of $1.977 million. This aggressive accumulation and strategic use of leverage may influence BTC price action and is a key signal for active Bitcoin traders (source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter, April 26, 2025).
