The Billionaire on the Brink: Can a $200,000 “Emergency Top-Up” Save a Multi-Million Dollar ETH Long?
Last night, a single on-chain move had the entire crypto community holding its breath. Brother Maji’s massive $12.2 million ETH long position, leveraged 25x, drifted dangerously close to liquidation. With the margin line looming, he rushed in $200,000 to try and save the trade—turning the moment into a high-stakes adrenaline rush.
📉 Why this trade is walking a tightrope
Entry price: ~$3,190
Liquidation level: now hovering around $3,042
Floating loss: over $20 million—as if a luxury car is vanishing every second
Risk factor: a 1% move could be enough to trigger liquidation
Many believe whales never lose. This situation proves otherwise. Leverage is a double-edged blade, and the trend always has the final say. Although Brother Maji previously trimmed part of his ETH exposure to reduce risk, the remaining position is still hanging over a cliff.
If ETH breaks the $3,050 support decisively, this position won’t be the only casualty—it could spark a localized market shock.
💡 Hard lessons from the edge
No matter how deep the pockets, high leverage against the trend is a dangerous gamble
“Adding margin to hold on” often turns into a bottomless pit—discipline beats belief
Whale activity can be observed, but it should never be copied blindly
At the time of writing, ETH is trading around $3,083.5, down 0.69% over the last 24 hours. Bulls and bears are locked in a tense standoff.
So what do you think—will Brother Maji survive this close call, or will this trade become a textbook warning for leveraged traders? Share your thoughts below.
