This mistake cost traders millions in previous cycles, and we are watching it happen again in real time.
Holding massive unrealized losses while doubling down on leverage is how solid portfolios evaporate before the breakout even arrives.
A top trader just put up an $850,000 position betting that $BTC will blast straight past $90,000, yet the trade is already sitting at a -$104,649 unrealized loss after a quick dip. It reminds me of the aggressive leveraged longs back in late 2021 where conviction was high, but timing and liquidations wiped out accounts before the real macro trend played out.
While majors like $ETH and $SOL show similar chop, blindly diamond-handing deep red leverage positions usually rewards the market makers more than the trader. Having a bullish thesis is great, but surviving the volatility to actually collect the profit is the whole game.
Do you think this long gets liquidated first or prints that massive target?
