Big Whale's "Lightning Counterattack" Continues to Add 3000+ ETH, Holding Scale Breaks Through $53 Million

A whale labeled "Lightning Reversal" recently increased its ETH holdings, repeatedly rolling over and adding approximately 3,007 ETH, with a total value of about $10.06 million. The average holding price has slightly increased, currently with an unrealized profit of about $136,000, but the liquidation price is at $3,090, facing risk. This indicates a clear expectation of the market.

【BiTu】A whale address marked as “Lightning Reversal” (0x50b3…) has been quite active recently. This major holder has consecutively increased their long positions on ETH twice in a short period, adding approximately 3,007 ETH, with a total value of about $10.06 million.

It doesn’t seem like a random move. After the operations, the average holding price slightly increased from $3,329.91 to $3,332.55—indicating that the additional purchases were made at roughly the same price. The timing of the increase appears to be well-chosen. Currently, the total position size has expanded to about $53.26 million, with an unrealized profit of approximately $136,000.

Worth noting is the liquidation price level, which is currently around $3,090. This means that if ETH falls below this level, liquidation risk arises. Based on this whale’s actions, it seems they have a clear expectation of the recent market trend; otherwise, they wouldn’t have continued to add to their position at this time.

Big Whale's recent accumulation pace is indeed steady, with the average price almost unchanged... However, with $53 million pressed against the 3090 level, to be honest, it's a bit risky. Just waiting for ETH not to create a black swan event.

This whale is really bold, playing with a position of 53 million to such a small liquidation line... Just watching it makes me nervous.

The whale's recent accumulation pace is indeed precise. They almost didn't raise the average price and just poured in over ten million, their courage is truly remarkable.

The order of 53 million USD hasn't exploded yet, and I'm already getting nervous.

This whale really knows how to do the math. The average price hardly moved, yet they added over 3,000 ETH. If you ask me, this is what you call professional.

The liquidation price of 3090 is really cutting it close, my experience of heavy losses tells me that whales must be confident to add such large positions. Once again, I am shocked by this rolling position strategy. They added over 3,000 ETH with almost no change in the average price. This market control ability is truly outrageous. With a position size of 53.26 million, only a profit of 136,000? The risk control level is too tight; one black swan event could lead to liquidation. Looking at others' trading strategies and comparing them with my own history of adding positions, I wish I had known earlier. If this guy is really going all-in on a bullish short-term market, then let's wait and see. Anyway, I can't learn to do that. The liquidation price is just around the corner. How much mental resilience does it take to endure this?

Bro, this whale really dares to go all-in. Adding over 3,000 ETH in one go, such a big risk-taker.

Bro, your technique is really solid. If that 3090 line breaks, it's gonna be...

This wave of whale operations is indeed steady, with the average price remaining almost unchanged while adding so much, indicating a good timing choice. It's just that the liquidation price of 3090 is a bit risky; in case of a sudden drop...

Whale's move... raising 3,000 ETH with an average price increase of only 3 dollars, their courage is really big. But a floating profit of 53 million only equals 130,000, this leverage must be quite aggressive.
