Conviction vs. Leverage a real-time lesson in $ETH trading
A known $ETH bull, 0xa5B0, just closed a 70+ day long at an $8.8M loss only to re-enter immediately with a 20× leveraged long on 60,000 ETH (~$122M). Within hours, that position is already down another $1.4M.
This isn’t just a whale trade it’s a reminder:
Strong conviction doesn’t cancel timing risk
High leverage compresses patience
Even seasoned players get tested when markets chop
Markets don’t reward belief. They reward positioning.
