Well… that escalated, and then ended just as fast.😡, After opening that aggressive 40x short, trader 0x128e didn’t get the move he needed. As $BTC pushed higher, the pressure built—and eventually, the position was closed. The result? About a $308K red numbers on a 250 BTC ($20M+) bet. And then… nothing dramatic. He pulled out what was left, around $191.5K from Hyperliquid and stepped away. It’s that brutal math of high leverage again. One tight window, one wrong direction… and the trade doesn’t get a second chance. In the end, it wasn’t a slow bleed. Just a fast hit, and a clean exit.
