Onchain data from OnchainLens and Lookonchain showed the June 23 CL long neared liquidation with more than $2.5 million in floating losses before the trader fully exited after 33 hours.
A newly created wallet identified as whale 0x2558 closed its entire 500,000-contract CL long position after roughly 33 hours, realizing a loss of about $2.9 million, according to Lookonchain. Earlier, OnchainLens had reported that the June 23 position was showing more than $2.5 million in floating losses and was about $2 away from liquidation. The trade, valued at $36.85 million, underscores how extreme leverage can rapidly turn small price moves into large losses and raise the risk of forced liquidations that can amplify market volatility.
