A well-known KOL has once again put on a textbook example of a "bullish tragedy."



This minor ETH pullback directly pierced the carefully constructed profit tower he built—leaving only $42 until the liquidation line. Here’s what happened: with a $500,000 principal, he kept adding to his long position starting from $2,840. When ETH surged to $3,200 the day before yesterday, his account’s unrealized profits soared to $3.34 million—that feeling must have been euphoric.

But then came the problem. His rolling leverage strategy pushed the liquidation price all the way up to $3,000. As a result, a sharp drop in ETH in the early morning directly broke that level, triggering two consecutive forced liquidations. The $3.34 million evaporated into $730,000 in an instant, wiping out nearly all the profits.

This operation proves once again: playing high leverage in the crypto market is no different from walking a tightrope. One misstep, and everything you’ve earned goes right back. Not everyone can handle contracts like these.

3.34 million vanished in an instant—that’s the taste of high leverage. I really can’t afford to play this game.

Here we go again, this time the blow is even worse... 3.34 million evaporated instantly, just $42 short of being completely wiped out.

Same old trick again, the fate of leverage players. Liquidation is just one step away, who’s to blame? Rolling over positions feels genius when making money, but you regret it when you go broke. 500,000 becomes 3,340,000 and then drops to 730,000—roller coasters aren’t this thrilling. High leverage means high risk, that’s nothing new. One big red candle and everything’s lost, impressive. Contracts really are a man-eater.
