Andrew Tate is on the brink again: the 108th Bitcoin long liquidation is only a matter of time
Andrew Tate, the controversial crypto influencer and former kickboxer, has once again drawn the community's attention by opening another long position on Bitcoin with 40x leverage. He has already experienced 107 forced liquidations, and judging by the current dynamics, the 108th is not far off.
Details of the New Trade: Record Risk
Analysts recorded Tate's entry into a long position of 57.36 BTC, with a total value of $3.76 million. The entry price was $66,045.30, and the estimated liquidation level was $65,215.87. The 40x leverage in cross-margin mode leaves minimal room for error: a price movement against the position of just 2.5% would completely wipe out the collateral. From the start, the position was slightly in the red, with an unrealized loss of -$23,247.72 and accumulated funding of -$596.54. The margin ratio (53.97%) indicated extremely high risk.
Deteriorating Dynamics: A Step Away from Liquidation
Bitcoin continued to decline, and Tate's position sharply worsened. The long volume decreased from 57.36 to 36.71 BTC — likely the trader partially closed the contract in an attempt to salvage the position. The position value dropped to $2.39 million, and the breakeven point shifted to $66,116.3. When the price fell to $65,015, the loss deepened to -$37,821.88, and the liquidation level tightened to $64,824.24 — less than 0.3% away from forced closure. The spot balance halved (from $87,238 to $36,784), and the margin ratio surged to 81.18%, indicating a critical level of risk.
Conclusion: A Recurring Pattern
Tate's story is a classic example of how extreme leverage and a lack of discipline lead to predictable losses. 107 liquidations are not a coincidence but a systemic error in capital management. In my view, this current long is not a trading strategy but a gamble, where the odds of success are minimal. The market does not forgive such mistakes, and the 108th liquidation is only a matter of time.
