#永续合约市场动态 Seeing James Wynn's recent moves on Hyperliquid, my mind automatically recalled several classic cases from the past few years. Shorting more, closing positions for profit, rebuilding the position—these actions have been played out countless times in the perpetual contract market.
What’s truly worth revisiting isn’t whether he can hit exactly $97,000, but the market psychology shift behind it. Remember those two bearish predictions in November? Back then, it was forecasted that Bitcoin would drop to $67,000, but the market didn’t follow through as expected. This stance reversal, to some extent, confirms a long-held observation of mine: in the leverage battlefield of perpetual contracts, prediction accuracy is often less important than the flexibility to adapt to market changes.
Using 40x leverage to open a position of $1.24 million, with a liquidation price at $87,111—this risk setup indicates that large funds’ confidence in a short-term rebound is increasing. But history shows that every round of confidence can become the risk in the next. The madness of 2017, the disillusionment of 2021, the rebound of 2023—these cycles are often not shattered by a single click of consensus, but by a sudden reversal of collective sentiment.
The shift in institutional perspective itself is a signal. The key question is—is this a fundamental-supported change, or just a technical and emotional rebound? The history of the perpetual contract market clearly tells us: beware of those moments of seemingly safest consensus.
