A whale experienced an unrealized loss of $19.6 million after the HYPE token price fell below $25. An emergency additional $2 million USDC was added to avoid liquidation, but the liquidation price has dropped to $20.65, and the risk remains high.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Another whale is tightening its nerves in leveraged trading. After the HYPE coin price fell below the $25 mark, a giant whale account holding a 5x leveraged long position has already fallen into trouble—unrealized losses on paper have exceeded $19.6 million.

Watching the numbers plummet, this whale chose to resist. To avoid forced liquidation, the account urgently added $2 million USDC as margin. Although the situation was temporarily stabilized, the risk remains alarming—the liquidation price of this position has dropped to $20.65.

As long as HYPE continues to decline, this position could explode at any time. High-leverage trading is sometimes just this exciting.

The whales are still holding on, but this time they might have overplayed their hand. The liquidation price at 20.65 is really uncertain.

The whales are still holding on stubbornly; 2 million is just a drop in the bucket... waiting for the big explosion to happen.

Oh no, it's the same old leverage trick again. This time, I got caught in it directly.

Whales are really bold... Spending 2 million just to buy half a life. If this wave breaks at 20, it'll go straight to zero.

Oh no, playing with 5x leverage went wrong, this is the consequence of greed --- Whales can't hold on either, another leverage slaughter scene --- Throwing 2 million just to delay the explosion, what's the point? --- The liquidation line at $20.65 feels risky, can HYPE rebound? --- That's why I say high leverage is gambling, now you believe it --- Dropping 2 million in margin still trembling, how explosive is the mentality? --- Gambler's mentality, forcing luck with leverage --- Another whale is feeding the sharks, a familiar story --- A floating loss of 19.6 million is no joke, this is reality --- Why do some people never learn, still playing with leverage
