Since opening the short position on October 11th, everything went smoothly, but recently there has been a major reversal. This trader started aggressively adding to their Ethereum long positions the day before yesterday, and continued to increase their position yesterday, leading many followers to join in.



The current situation is becoming unsustainable—profit on paper has suddenly plummeted to huge losses, with unrealized losses exceeding 23 million USD, equivalent to over a hundred million RMB.

This is quite heartbreaking, serving as both a reflection of market volatility and a real-life example of leverage trading risks. Adding to long positions in a market moving against you often accelerates liquidation; a loss of over a hundred million dollars clearly illustrates the point. For ordinary traders, this kind of case is worth remembering—following the crowd and over-leveraging are always sources of risk.

This is a classic case of chasing highs and getting trapped. Watching others make money, you can't help but follow... Resulting in a reversal and going bankrupt directly. Want to trade with such big players entering the market? Forget it, we can't handle such big waves. Millions in losses show one thing: leverage is always a double-edged sword. You earn quickly, but lose even faster. This guy went from making money to liquidation in just two days? That's too intense... No, it's not intense, it's painful. Actually, it's just one sentence: never go all-in, and never follow the herd. The market never waits for you to react. Looking at this news, I recall several big influencers also crashed in a similar pattern. Adding positions must be done with caution, everyone. Even the most promising market can't withstand a counterattack.

This is a typical case of adding to a position until it kills you. When you're making money, you're greedy; when you're losing, you're even greedier. Following the trend almost always means you're the sucker for someone else's pump-and-dump scheme. Losing over 100 million instantly—how painful must that be? Leverage is truly a double-edged sword. Watching the account turn from green to red... I choose to lie flat. This guy's order-following speed is probably faster than fleeing. Why is it that some people can never learn to cut losses? I really don't understand.

Hundreds of millions just disappeared like that. Following big V influencers really requires some common sense.

Oh no, that's why I never follow the trend to increase my position. Over 100 million just disappeared like that, it hurts to watch.

Damn, this is the devil of leverage. Adding long positions directly turns into additional losses. A hundred million is gone.

This guy is a typical greed-driven person. He gets excited with a quick surge, then immediately adds more? And he has to drag followers into the pit with him. Now he's lost over 100 million, serving as a vivid cautionary tale.
