On-chain analyst Yu Jin has flagged a whale that is aggressively building an ETH long position, according to a ChainCatcher news flash. Two days ago, the whale opened the trade by purchasing 32,000 ETH at $2,487 per token — a position worth roughly $80 million. It then added another 13,000 ETH, an increase of about 40% over its original stake, lifting total holdings to 45,000 ETH. The enlarged position is valued at approximately $109 million, with the average long entry price settling at $2,486 per ETH. The difference between the first batch price and the average entry is just $1. The market has since pulled back, and the position has fallen into a floating loss of $3.35 million. Its liquidation price — the level at which the venue would be forced to close the trade — stands at $2,251 per ETH. The details were relayed through on-chain monitoring by Yu Jin and published via ChainCatcher's news flash.
