A trader named James Wynn staged a thrilling comeback on Hyperliquid. This guy initially only used $20,000 to go long on PEPE, and managed to push his account to a peak of $900,000. But the good times didn't last long. On January 8th, his position was liquidated 12 times in a row, his account was cut multiple times, and he almost blew up.

However, he didn't give up. Taking advantage of the recent market rebound, James Wynn decided to cut all his positions—liquidated all PEPE and ETH longs, and withdrew $41,000 from the exchange. On paper, his PEPE longs earned about $110,000, but his ETH longs lost $160,000. Overall, he still made a profit of about $20,000.

Interestingly, last January 1st, this guy made a bold statement, saying PEPE's market cap would hit $69 billion by 2026, or he would delete his social media accounts. Currently, PEPE's market cap is $25.4 million, still far from his target. But regardless, his timely stop-loss operation allowed him to walk out of the exchange alive.

PEPE-3,32%

ETH-3,45%

12 liquidations and he's still alive; this guy's mental resilience is really strong. But the flag of PEPE hitting 69 billion probably won't hold up, haha.

Bro, this explanation is: if you can come out alive, you've won. Don't worry about how much you make. That's why I never go all-in on a single coin. Surviving 12 liquidations is already good luck. The 69 billion target for PEPE should have been forgotten long ago. Staying alive is more important than anything. It seems his mindset is more valuable than the account. Most people have long been in a bankruptcy mindset.

Haha, this is what we often say—surviving is winning. Much better than those who go all-in in one shot.

Surviving 12 liquidations is quite impressive for this guy's mental resilience. Living is winning; the PEPE dream must go on. Cutting losses in time is easier said than done; luckily, he didn't stubbornly hold on and die. From 20,000 to 900,000 and back down to 40,000—what a roller coaster ride. PEPE reaching 69 billion? First, stay alive, then boast. After 12 consecutive liquidations, I would have just died on the spot—truly talented. This is called being able to run; unlike some people who die before dawn.

Survived 12 liquidations, now that's a real trader Being alive and exiting is the true winner. Who still remembers PEPE's 69 billion flag? Fallen from 900,000 to 40,000 but still able to withdraw coins with a smile, impressive Lost 160,000 on ETH but PEPE held strong, this is called risk management Clearing out the living, continuing to play with the dead—that's the principle Survived 12 consecutive times without a blow-up, top-notch market protection No matter what, just rebound and run. I give this move a full score

12 liquidations and still managing to crawl back out alive, that's some seriously strong mentality Staying alive is already a win, stopping losses is also a victory What's the target for PEPE, anyway—regardless, big coin is stirring up trouble, who dares to predict 2026

Wow, this guy's luck is insane, got liquidated 12 times and still didn't blow up... that's the power of leverage right there Cutting losses on time is harder than making big money, and once you realize that, you've already won PEPE's 69 billion flag is still standing there, see you in 2026

Oh no, 12 liquidations, how strong does your heart have to be to withstand that? Cutting losses in time is the right move; at least you didn't lose everything, smarter than most people. That 69 billion flag for PEPE was set too aggressively; better prepare to close your account, haha. This move is textbook level; surviving and coming out ahead is already a win. Curious if he'll re-enter with his 41,000; people who make a quick profit and run tend to have the highest return rate.

止损就是止胜啊，活着出来就赢了，比那些扛单扛到爆仓的强多了。这操作属于理性，虽然没完成那690亿的flag，但好歹没成为社交媒体的反面教材。 PEPE还是那点市值，有人赚点就跑，有人还在梦2026，差距这么大呢。看清形势及时砍单真的是修行，多少人做不到啊。 12次清算活着走出来，这本身就是胜利了吧。你们说他这个flag会不会最后反转，等等就真的上690了哈哈。

这就是杠杆的魔力啊，赚的快亏的也贼快，12次清算硬生生活下来了... 天哪，90万直接腰斩，心理素质得多强啊，换我早就🤐了靠，这PEPE预测690亿...现在还差26倍呢，要不注销账号吧朋友 2万进4.1万出，这波止损算妙手了，比大多数人强太多又一个Hyperliquid的英雄故事，不过下次能不能别这么刺激😅
