Recently, I came across a quite intriguing trading case.
A newly created wallet on a certain leverage trading platform used $5 million USDC to open positions—5x long on LINK and 10x long on DOGE. Logically, this amount of capital should have caused some waves, but currently, the entire position is floating with a loss of about $600,000.
What does this phenomenon reflect? First, it’s a risk warning. Whether retail investors or large funds, in such high leverage and high volatility environments, a single misjudgment can lead to an instant lesson. Those blindly chasing highs and casually adding leverage will not be given special treatment by the market. Everyone can fall into traps, and the size of funds doesn’t change the market’s ruthlessness.
But on the other hand, there’s another layer of logic. This big account is currently only floating with a loss; the account is still alive, with no liquidation or forced closure. Entering the market with such a large amount, their original intention was definitely not so simple. If they want to get out of trouble or even reverse the situation, they might need to "pump" the market later to recover or cut losses. And this force could potentially become a support or driving force in the market.
So, this case is both a short-term bearish signal (confirming the selling pressure above) and may hide a mid-term "main force self-rescue" script. On the surface, it’s a story; at a deeper level, it’s a game of strategy. As long as there’s no liquidation, the game continues.

5 million invested in 10x DOGE, this guy is really bold. Losing 600,000 now, it must be really tough.

5 million entered the market like this; luckily, this guy hasn't been liquidated yet, or it would have become a classic negative example.

Oh no, it's that "big investor being educated" script again, but on second thought... it's actually kind of interesting.
Wait, how many percentage points is a 600,000 floating loss? How many chips does this guy still hold? It doesn't seem that simple.
Amazing, a 10x DOGE—are they just throwing a tantrum or is there insider information? Something's off.

5 million to open 10x leverage on DOGE? Is this guy really here to joke around?
A floating loss of 600,000 is just the beginning. I bet this big investor will need to add to their position to push the price up later.
As long as there's no liquidation, there's still hope. This statement is not wrong; it mainly depends on his determination and whether he still has enough bullets.

5 million entry still results in a floating loss of 600,000. This guy really has a story to tell.
The main force's move is well played; they're probably waiting to reverse the market.

This guy is truly a living textbook. He just plays with 5 million like that, and I can't help but sweat for him.
This is the magic of leverage. You think being a big player allows you to do whatever you want, but the market will give you a lesson in minutes.
But on the other hand, a floating loss of 600,000 might just be a appetizer for him, and the key is he hasn't been liquidated yet. That's what I'm most concerned about. Let's wait and see how he tries to save himself.
This 10x DOGE move is really a bit ruthless. You must be pretty clueless to do something like that.
If he tries to pump the price later, us small investors will have to watch the market carefully and avoid getting caught.

5 million invested in 10x DOGE, this guy really dares... A floating loss of 600,000 and still holding back from adding more, which shows he truly has a plan, just waiting to turn the market around.

5 million entry results in a floating loss of 600,000, this is the gambler's mentality... really think that having more money allows you to do whatever you want

A 5 million influx results in a floating loss of 600,000. How strong must this big investor's mentality be? I would have already liquidated and run away long ago.

5 million invested with a floating loss of 600,000, this guy is really ruthless... But on the other hand, such a move is either a genius or a lunatic, there's no middle ground.
