My $158K ETH Long Liquidated at $4,393 — Caution on Leverage

I had a long position in ETH liquidated: $158,000 at $4,393.86. The liquidation shows my stops were hit and reflects short-term selling pressure around this price.

I view this as a signal of elevated volatility and possible continued downside or choppy action while liquidity is taken. I won’t redeploy significant leverage until I see clearer support or a confirmed reversal.

For now I’m reassessing position sizing and risk controls and prefer staying flat, trimming exposure, or using hedges rather than re-entering aggressive longs.
