Ethereum long position, opening a $92.17 million trade with 14x leverage, according to TronWeekly. This position is precariously close to liquidation, being just $64 away from that threshold.

Adding to these concerns, TronWeekly notes a decline in open interest and weakening technical momentum, which suggest broader market caution and potential vulnerability.
