After that price retest, what caught my eye is a major whale that shorted heavily and is already bleeding through funding fees—we're talking 58k in losses already. If the market squeezes from here, this position gets way more painful. These big moves in funding rates always signal when leverage is stacked one way. Worth watching how this plays out over the next move.

The 58k loss is still ongoing. This whale is really holding strong, never giving up.

A 58k loss is still manageable; how hardcore is this whale... Waiting to see when it gets liquidated.

A loss of 58k is just the appetizer; the real liquidation is coming. I've seen this kind of one-sided leverage buildup too many times, just like those audit vulnerabilities — you think you've found the first loophole, but in reality, the entire contract's permission control was never properly set up. This whale's move is really amateurish; they didn't even take the opportunity to buy the dip when the funding rate signaled so clearly.

The moment the whale gets liquidated is really satisfying, 58k just disappeared like that haha
