This mistake cost traders millions during the last cycle, and watching history repeat itself in real time never gets old.
Holding a massive leveraged position in the red while praying the market bails you out is the easiest way to turn a solid portfolio into a liquidation notice. Most people confuse conviction with plain stubbornness when the chart starts moving against them.
Right now, we are seeing top-ranked traders drop an $850,000 bet that $BTC will surge past $90,000, already sitting on an unrealized loss of over -$147,307 as price dips -2.68%. It reminds me of the aggressive longs near cycle highs in 2021 before the real volatility kicked in. While $ETH and major alts like $SOL often follow these momentum swings, absorbing a six-figure drawdown on sheer optimism rarely ends well.
Is this the kind of high-conviction play that separates the legends from the rest, or just an expensive lesson in ego?
