This market situation is indeed quite surreal. HYPE has surged aggressively over the past two days, but the most ironic thing is that the on-chain whale who has been "long-term bullish" on HYPE is probably now bleeding internally. What's really going on? Let me explain in detail.
【News: The story of huge losses behind the rally】
Since January 2nd, HYPE has been continuously climbing, with a total increase of over 13%, reaching a high of $27.4 at one point. It is now oscillating around $26.46. Normally, this should be good news—but the story is not that simple.
The on-chain whale who claims to be "long-term bullish on HYPE" is now caught in a dilemma. He opened a large long position at $38.6. Although the unrealized loss has shrunk from $20 million to $17 million, it’s still a huge hole. Even more heartbreaking, the funding rate loss has exceeded $1 million—this is basically paying real money for lessons.
An even more suspicious detail is that this guy placed big bets before Robinhood officially announced the listing of HYPE. The community speculates whether there is insider support behind it, but judging from the outcome—it's useless. The market never cares about personal connections; even having the information doesn’t guarantee profits. This move can be described as "insider info can't save it."
【Technical analysis: Key resistance is right in front】
From the 4-hour candlestick chart, the current price is stable above $26.4, with a clear breakout in volume. This is not something retail traders can achieve—indicating that genuine institutional funds are entering. The upward push at key levels combined with increased volume suggests the bulls are serious here.

The unrealized loss of 17 million is still being endured. How strong must that mentality be? I definitely couldn't hold on.

Insider information can't save you, what does that mean? It just shows that this market is a casino; everyone is the same.
---
Wait, did he really enter the market before RH announced? Then behind the scenes... never mind, the result is right here.
---
A fee loss of 1 million. This guy really dares to play. I need to learn how he's so rich.
---
Fluctuating around 26 yuan. Are institutions really eating up the chips, or is another harvest starting?
---
Long-term bullish? Long-term bearish is more appropriate, given the current situation.
---
Although the unrealized loss has decreased, it's still 17 million... I can't calculate how much of a rebound is needed to break even.
---
The most ironic thing is that having insider information is useless; the market just loves to slap this kind of face.
---
That old gentleman should be reflecting on his life now, is 1 million in tuition expensive?
---
Does increased trading volume mean institutions are entering? I feel a bit skeptical; let's take another look.

Haha, I spent 38 yuan on noodles, and now biting into it again, it's still sour. This is the daily life of on-chain whales, experience earned through real gold and silver.
The 17 million dollar hole is still there, and the funding rate has eaten another million... How strong do you have to be to keep shouting long-term bullish?
There are signals of institutional entry, but the key is whether you can hit the right rhythm. That guy clearly didn't get it right, and the news advantage couldn't save him either.
Trends, with large amounts of information, are useless; the market won't pay for insider information.

Haha, this whale probably never imagined it would end up like this even in its dreams. Insider information can't save it; it's truly over.

Haha, this giant whale probably regrets it now. Insider information can't even prevent the lock-up.

Haha, another story of a big investor losing everything. Bought at 38.6 and is still in hell now. The fees alone have eaten up over a million... That's why I never pre-position on news in advance.

Haha, this whale is really something. Bought in at 38 and has been holding on stubbornly until now. The fee rate is collapsing, but they're still holding on. This is the gambler's mentality.

Wow, 17 million is still called shrinking? How resilient is this guy? I would have been liquidated and run long ago.

Oh no, this whale is probably going bankrupt. Still holding a floating loss of 17 million, really aggressive.
