Machi Big Brother's $30 Million Liquidation and Immediate Re-entry
Machi Big Brother, a crypto trader, recently faced liquidations across his leveraged crypto positions. His $BTC and $ETH long positions were fully liquidated, contributing to total losses exceeding $30.7 million. Immediately following this, he re-entered the market, opening a new 25x leveraged long position on 1,600 $ETH, valued at approximately $3.33 million.
The most recent liquidation incident, a $423,000 loss, stemmed from the forced closure of positions holding 48.6 $BTC and 6,720 $ETH. This cascade occurred within a half-hour timeframe, triggered by $ETH's price falling below the $2100 threshold. Prior to this, Machi Big Brother had deposited 500K $USDC into his account, deploying it into leveraged long positions. After the liquidation, his account balance stood at $138K.
Immediately after these liquidations, Machi Big Brother re-engaged, opening a new 25x leveraged long position on 1,600 $ETH. A 25x leveraged position means a 4% price move against it can lead to liquidation.
Market Perception and Community Reaction
