A major trader just cut a 25,000 ETH position ($75M USD) after hitting the stop-loss level as prices bounced back, crystallizing a $2.1M loss on the trade. The move ended a solid 12-win run for this whale, though the overall track record on the derivatives platform still looks impressive—sitting at $23.9M in cumulative profits. It's a reminder that even experienced players get stopped out sometimes. The question now is whether this signals a shift in sentiment or just a routine risk management move as markets find their footing.

Stop loss is just stop loss, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. The key is that the 23 million in profit is still there, that's the real skill.

$2.1M loss but still up $23.9M lifetime? ngl that's just cost of doing business. the real question is whether this whale's stop placement was actually tight enough or they just got liquidation-raided lmao

Stop loss is just stop loss. A loss of 21 million is nothing to this whale... The key is that the 23.9 million profit is real, this is the true player mentality.

25,000 ETH directly cut? This guy really has discipline. Losing 21 million and just accepting it, I need to learn from him.

25,000 ETH for stop-loss... This big investor is still panicking. Although overall they still made over 20 million, this single trade feels like it was hit hard.
