ETH worth $6.1 million liquidated: March holdings with a floating loss of 55,000, large investors hurriedly exit

On January 13th, a whale address cleared an ETH position worth $6.1 million, resulting in an unrealized loss of $55,000. This address has been active since November of last year but failed to seize a turnaround opportunity. The large holder's exit may indicate a shift in market sentiment, and subsequent on-chain activity should be monitored.

【Blockchain Rhythms】Another whale is cutting losses. On January 13th, on-chain monitoring data showed that a whale address rapidly liquidated all its ETH holdings—worth $6.1 million.

There is a story of loss behind this transaction. The address started accumulating in mid-November last year, taking nearly two months to build up 1,946 ETH at an average cost of $3,162.77. As the market fluctuated, the holder was ultimately unable to wait for a turnaround opportunity and just a few hours ago transferred all their holdings to a major exchange, with an average deposit price dropping to $3,134.32. A paper loss of $55,000 remains—relatively mild for a transaction in the millions.

The exit of a large holder often signals a shift in market sentiment. Whether this liquidation will become a signal for subsequent adjustments remains to be seen by observing on-chain movements.

6.1 million instantly flashed, this guy is really ruthless, just for a floating loss of 55,000? I think his psychological defense line has collapsed.

Another veteran who was taught a lesson by the market. $6.1 million, clear and simple. How shattered must this mindset be? Losing only 55,000 in two months and still able to endure—I need to learn this kind of resolve.

It's the rhythm of big whales running away again. This time, why must we get caught at the most "gentle" point?

empirically speaking, this $6.1M liquidation is just noise in the broader market structure. the data suggests whale panic-selling rarely correlates with actual bear signals—we've seen this pattern documented in multiple on-chain analysis papers. what we should actually be tracking here is the governance implications of centralized liquidity removal, not some anecdotal loss story.

All of a sudden, $6.1 million was wiped out. It's really urgent now. Why does it seem like the big players are all fleeing this time?
