One whale's trading moves could be called a textbook rollercoaster ride.

He held his long ETH position for nearly four days and finally closed it 17 hours ago—making a profit of $1.285 million. Sounds pretty good, right? But you should know, at its peak, this position had an unrealized profit of $5.3 million! That’s a drawdown of over $4 million—just thinking about it hurts.

But it gets even crazier. Shortly after locking in his profits, he couldn’t resist when he saw the price drop, so he opened two more long positions trying to catch the bottom. The result? Both trades went against him and he lost almost $230,000.

Final tally: after three rounds of $ETH long trades, he ended up netting $1.055 million. From dreaming of $5.3 million to walking away with just over a million—you have to admire that mental resilience.

That said, another trader with a similar style performed a bit better—at least he didn’t give back all his unrealized profits 😂
