【Crypto圈】Ethereum market has recently come under pressure, with some large investors choosing to cut losses. On-chain data shows that a major whale has closed its ETH long positions. This move resulted in significant losses—just this one trade lost $5.86 million. Even more heartbreaking is that, combined with previous profit withdrawals, this whale’s net loss has soared to $2.4 million. It seems that even big players need to be extremely cautious in the face of market volatility. This transaction also reflects the current market’s danger level—many traders are weighing risks and choosing to exit timely.

$5.86 million lost in one shot, that's too brutal. I need to quickly check my stop-loss orders.

5.86 million went into the hands, how bad is the technical aspect... Can't you even recognize the head and shoulders top pattern?

Whales lose 2.4 million but still dare to appear; I, as a small retail investor, lose a little and my blood pressure skyrockets.

honestly, called this volatility pattern weeks ago. whales panic selling is always the tell—once the big money starts bailing on 5.86M losses, the architecture's already crumbling. textbook exit signal masked as "risk management" lmao. $2.4M in total drawdown and people still think they can time the bottom? classic web3 darwin awards material right here.

A loss of $5.86 million in one go, that's too brutal. I need to reflect on my position.

5.86 million USD loss in a single trade? This data is interesting; we need to see the specific on-chain situation... What does it mean when big players cut losses? Is the market really dangerous, or is this just a rational exit?

$5.86 million lost in one go, how strong must this whale's mentality be... If I were going to lose this much, I would have gone for tea long ago.

5.86 million directly evaporated. How large is this liquidity gap... Seeing this data late at night, what is the slippage potential?
