Brothers, the case is solved! I said how my TON short got trapped like a dog—turns out I followed a fake “short army” whale leader.
I was confused: why couldn’t this TON short ever be unwound no matter what?
I went to check the whale leader’s position—wow—
The whale brother is running:
5x full position, 2,968,000 TON, entry price $2.33
Now it’s already floating a loss of $1.5 million, margin $1.68 million, liquidation price $5.88
Paid $7,590 in funding fees alone, and he’s still stubbornly holding
So it turns out I didn’t open the position myself—I was just the one left holding the bag for big brother.
Now look at the total liquidation numbers across the whole network—how bad did the shorts get?
· Liquidations in 1 hour: 1.42 million, with shorts at 1.29 million
· Liquidations in 4 hours: 8.29 million, with shorts at 7.49 million
· Liquidations in 12 hours: 11 million, with shorts at 9.45 million
· Liquidations in 24 hours: 28.4 million, with shorts at 18.97 million
Longs only totaled 9.43 million liquidated, while shorts were wiped out by nearly 19 million.
This market is openly slapping the shorts in the face.
⚠️ The strangest part is the “maximum pain point” on the liquidation map:
· If the price drops below $2.5, longs will be liquidated for $18 million
· If the price breaks above $3.2, shorts will be liquidated for $6 million
Smash it down to harvest over $18 million from longs; pull it up to only harvest $6 million from shorts.
But the market just refuses to go down—keeps pushing up—already liquidating nearly $19 million worth of shorts.
Big brother’s short opened at $2.33, liquidation at $5.88. He’s still pushing up—only above $3.2 will $6 million shorts be liquidated?
Big brother alone is holding a floating loss of $1.5 million—how many short positions are queued up behind him waiting to get liquidated?
Brothers, this isn’t normal shorting—it’s a ride on the “reverse lighthouse whale” black car.
If big brother doesn’t run, I don’t dare run either. But with a liquidation price at $5.88, every tiny tick up makes my heart tremble.
With TON moves like this, either it’s specifically targeting short stop-losses, or some big players are playing even bigger games.
