COINOTAG News (Aug 28) — according to on-chain analyst Ai Auntie (@ai_9684xtpa), an apparent whale that opened a $125,000 ETH long position has reportedly lost $72,000, leaving approximately $58,000 in the account. ETH$4,664 overnight before retracing this morning, prompting a partial close to avoid liquidation.
The address is said to still maintain a 25x leveraged ETH long with a notional value near $1.79 million. Limited available margin reduces rollover flexibility and, as reported, elevates the liquidation risk on the leveraged position. On-chain records indicate the trade initially started at $125,000 and at one point showed a peak floating profit near $43 million.
