According to Crypto Rover, the cryptocurrency market experienced $620 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours, signaling heightened volatility and increased risk for leveraged traders (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, May 19, 2025). This large-scale liquidation event indicates significant price swings across major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, directly impacting open interest levels and prompting traders to adjust risk management strategies. The surge in forced liquidations suggests short-term trading opportunities for volatility-focused participants while underlining the importance of closely monitoring funding rates and liquidation clusters for potential entry and exit points.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a major Ethereum whale who accumulated 7,711 ETH at an average price of $1,772 on April 23 has fully liquidated their position within the past three hours, realizing a profit of $4.428 million with a 32.4% return over one month. This large-scale exit during a period of market volatility may signal increasing short-term profit-taking pressure and potential shifts in ETH's price dynamics, providing traders with critical insights into whale behavior and Ethereum's near-term liquidity.

According to @ai_analysis, a major ETH whale who opened a 4,000 ETH short position on April 25 has just bought back 3,851 ETH at an average price of $1,816.4 within the past 15 minutes, totaling $7 million. The whale then closed 3,800 ETH of shorts, incurring a $29,500 loss. Only 200 ETH shorts remain, and since April 22, cumulative shorting losses have reached $413,000. This trend indicates rising risk for aggressive short positions as prior profits are nearly erased, signaling increased volatility and potential short squeezes for ETH traders (Source: @ai_analysis).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a major whale who had been shorting 8,000 ETH since April 22 was forced to close their position in the last 30 minutes, buying back all ETH and realizing a $382,000 loss as prices rose from a $1,731 average entry to a $1,778.7 exit. This move reduced the whale’s total swing trading profits since April 13 to $1.029 million. The event highlights the risks of leveraged short strategies in volatile markets, impacting trading sentiment and emphasizing the importance of tight risk management for ETH traders (source: Twitter @ai_9684xtpa).
