【Blockchain Rhythm】On-chain data monitoring shows that on January 17th, a whale address experienced a setback in XMR leveraged trading. The long position opened earlier with 2x leverage has been fully closed, with the account losing up to $896,020.

From the trading details, this is another classic case of a high-level long position being caught. In the highly volatile crypto market, even large traders find it difficult to completely avoid risks—especially when using leverage. This loss once again reminds traders that leverage amplifies not only gains but also risks.

As market participants pay increasing attention to whale movements, such on-chain data has become an important reference for many investors to gauge market sentiment.

Haha, even this whale got wrecked. Leverage is really a bad thing. 2x can also blow up. Where are the big players I was promised? 9.16 million gone. I need to be more cautious. That's why I absolutely won't touch leverage. It's too risky. Looks like I have to go against the whales' moves. Again caught long. When will I learn to be smarter?

8.96 million loss, right? Bro, leverage is really a money-eating machine. Even the biggest whales can't withstand it.

8.96 million is gone, this is the true face of leverage Even 2x can be liquidated, how greedy must one be Whales also got wrecked, indicating that the current market is really hard to predict This long position at a high level, someone always falls into the trap Dare not to touch leverage anymore, looking at these cases is a bit scary Why is XMR so fierce this wave, dropping like this Making money by monitoring whale movements, sounds mysterious Leverage, this thing, earns little and loses a lot 900,000 is gone just like that, how strong must one's mentality be

With 2x leverage, you can still lose like this, I truly call it an insider move --- High-position bagholders, $8.96 million just disappeared like that --- Whales are all running, still thinking about revenge-style adding? --- Leverage is just a harvesting tool, the ones who always lose are the greedy --- On-chain data has issues, retail investors get double the loss, this market logic is really ruthless --- What happened with XMR this time, even big investors can't hold up? --- No, just 2x leverage can lead to huge losses, how terrible must the market be? --- Watching whales move and buy, everyone must be foolish haha --- That's why I never touch leveraged trading, a good mindset is key to surviving longer --- $8.96 million is gone just like that, how are we retail investors supposed to survive?
