A whale just scrambled to dodge liquidation after a ZEC long position went sideways. Nine days back, this trader scooped up 20,386 ZEC tokens—roughly $7.3 million at the time. Fast forward to now? They're staring down a brutal $4.4M unrealized loss.
The pressure got real two hours ago when they pumped an extra 1.5 million USDC into Hyperliquid, clearly racing to keep that margin requirement afloat. Classic damage control move when your bet tanks harder than expected.
ZEC's recent price action has been unforgiving for leveraged bulls. This position shows how quickly large-cap altcoin swings can turn aggressive plays into survival mode. The question now: will another bounce save this trade, or is this just delaying the inevitable?

It's a nightmare for leveraged players, a loss of 4.4 million is still holding on... This is why I only do Spot.

The last struggle of leveraged players, to put it simply, is just holding on.
