According to the latest monitoring data, this whale’s total long positions have reached $814 million, with unrealized losses of $49 million, further expanding the loss.

The initial opening price was $3,161.85. Regarding BTC, the long positions are worth $89 million, with relatively small unrealized losses of $2.64 million, but the opening price was as high as $91,506.7, indicating this position was established at a relatively high level.

Wow, this whale is really incredible. 814 million was directly hit with 49 million, and it's all high-level buying...

Oh no, this whale is probably about to be cut, with over 800 million in position loss like this... Why is it still holding on?

Damn, how can this whale lose so much... ETH went from 3161 to now, and the funding fees are still bleeding. I really can't understand this move.

That whale with 91506 BTC opened his position... really dares to buy at the top, I just love watching these spectacular chasing-the-high scenes. On-chain data is so clear, but we retail investors are the ones more easily harvested, how ironic. 4488 million ETH floating loss, plus the funding fee... this is why I only go all-in with money I can sleep peacefully. A 6.6 billion order pressing on 3161... buddy, are you going long or live streaming a long trap? Contract fees plus floating loss, this old guy needs some mental preparation, or he really won't sleep well. This is called the art of buying at the high, 814 million right in front of you, yet you can't move a muscle. Funding fees bite daily, more painful than the decline itself.

$800 million is sitting there, this guy must be having a hard time sleeping... The unrealized loss of ETH at 44.88 million must hurt a lot.

Oh no, this old guy really can't hold on anymore. Over 800 million in orders were directly crushed, it hurts to watch.
