The revision is typical, but has proven expensive for those who bet on the upside in the market. Coinglass data reveals that total liquidation has reached $486.6 million over the past 24 hours.

Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain has recently highlighted traders who have long profited Ethereum by millions.

Traders started four months ago with a deposit of $125,000 to high liquids. He strategically entered his long positions in ETH on two accounts. The trader used his profits to raise his position to 66,749 ETH.

This strategy has resulted in his total stock surges from $125,000 to an impressive $29.6 million. Additionally, earlier this week, the trader closed all 66,749 long ETH positions, securing a profit of $6.86 million.

However, amid the recent market crash, traders re-entered the ETH market, but were eventually liquidated, losing $6.22 million in the process.

“Starting at just $125,000, he grew his account to $699 million (more than $43 million peak), and now only $771,000 remains. In just two days, four months’ profits have been wiped out,” Lookonchain said.

High-risk leverage trader James Wynn also experienced partial liquidation. LookonChain reported that Wynn opened a 25x leveraged length against ETH after claiming 19,206.72 USDC (USDC) in referral reward. Nevertheless, his position was partially liquidated as the market moved south.

“James Wynn’s ETH Long was partially liquidated, leaving him with a long position at $71.6 ETH ($300,000),” the post read.

Additionally, the blockchain analytics company noted that traders made 1 million USDC deposits to high lipids yesterday. This fund was used to open long positions of maximum leverage to ETH, Bitcoin (BTC), and Pump.Fun.

Nevertheless, Hypurrscan’s latest data showed traders currently face unrealized losses of over $1 million.
