HYPE leverage long positions are in imminent danger, with whales floating losses exceeding $20 million

Abstract generation in progress

【CryptoWorld】On-chain data shows that a certain whale’s HYPE leveraged position is at a dangerous edge. This long position opened with 5x leverage has seen floating losses surpass $22.5 million as the HYPE price drops below $22.5. Even more concerning, the liquidation price is now close at $20.66. In other words, as long as HYPE continues to decline by less than $2, this whale’s position faces forced liquidation. The risks of leveraged trading are indeed not to be underestimated; a single correction could wipe out the account and leave the trader questioning their life. For holders, it might be time to review the risks now.

Oh no, it's another story of getting rekt with 5x leverage. This whale is probably going to be liquidated. Over 20 million dollars just gone like that, this is the price of playing with leverage, it's really unbearable.

Oh, this giant whale is really about to lose everything this time, with a floating loss of 22.5 million and still daring to hold on. Playing with 5x leverage and risking it all—sure enough, there's no good ending. --- 5x leverage is still too inexperienced; this is a textbook-level liquidation rehearsal. --- The liquidation price is only two dollars away. Basically, it's just waiting to be eaten up. The story of leverage is always the same script. --- I'm truly impressed. Playing such extreme operations—losing over 20 million and still not cutting losses—how much resilience does that take? --- Honestly, watching stories like this on the eve of liquidation is a bit satisfying, anyway, it's not my money haha. --- I just want to know if this guy really believes or is just addicted to gambling. 22.5 million dollars, bro. --- Another story of a leveraged dream shattering. There will be more next time—that's the rhythm of the crypto world. --- A liquidation price of $20.66. I bet five dollars it will break, then I see someone in the comments saying to buy the dip. --- This liquidation price being so close is really unsustainable. One wick down and it's gone. --- Leverage players should wake up, but I think they won't. They'll come back next week.

actually, this whole liquidation cascade is precisely what i mean when i talk about the algorithmic brutality baked into leveraged positions... the blockchain doesn't care about your intentions, only your collateral hash. that whale just got schooled by the immutable laws of computational finance ngl

Leverage is really playing with fire... Over 20 million in unrealized losses just to chase a rise? I don't understand it anyway. I never touch 5x leverage.

Playing HYPE with 5x leverage, this guy is really risking it all... Over 20 million just vanished like that, and the liquidation price is only 2 dollars away? Come on, he's just waiting to get liquidated.
