ETH Whale Liquidates 2,500 ETH in Aave Position, Faces ~$820K Loss After Earlier 2,989 ETH Purchase

According to on-chain analyst AI Auntie, a whale address 0xC26…7869C, previously leveraged long ETH on Aave, sold 2500 ETH roughly eight hours ago, trimming leverage exposure. The transaction, valued at about $9.67 million, signals deliberate deleveraging amid shifting liquidity and market risk.

From October 13 through 27, the same entity accumulated 2989 ETH at an average price near $4,197, establishing a cost basis during a period of accumulation. The latest sale would realize an approximate $820,000 loss, while the address still backstops 13,504.56 ETH as collateral in Aave and has borrowed 37.24 million stablecoins, with a Health Factor of 1.16.

This activity highlights persistent whale risk management and capital efficiency within DeFi markets. With a Health Factor near 1.16, on-chain metrics remain critical for gauging price impact and funding dynamics as ETH moves unfold.
