Hyperliquid platform data shows a total position of $6.495 billion, but the long and short positions are clearly diverging, with shorts slightly ahead. Long positions are floating at a loss of $161 million, while shorts are profitable by $238 million. A whale went all-in on longs when ETH price was $3,147.39, now with a floating loss of over $10 million, reflecting the current market pressure on longs.

【BiTu】According to the latest data from Coinglass, the whale holdings on the Hyperliquid platform are quite interesting. The total position size is $6.495 billion, but the long and short positions are clearly divided—longs amount to $3.149 billion, accounting for 48.47%, while shorts are $3.347 billion, accounting for 51.53%, with the bears slightly in the lead.

In terms of profit and loss, longs have already unrealized losses of $161 million, while shorts have made an unrealized profit of $238 million. This stark contrast indicates that recent market volatility has indeed put pressure on the bulls.

More specifically, a whale address 0xb317…ae went all-in with 5x leverage on longs when ETH price was $3,147.39, but now it has an unrealized loss of $10.6333 million. This order clearly bets on a rebound, but so far, the market hasn’t given that opportunity.

Another guy caught in a trap, this whale is probably going to keep bottom-fishing all the way to the horizon.

This whale buddy is also a tough guy, going all-in with 5x leverage on 3147... What are they thinking now? The short positions are疯狂ly cutting the leeks, who can withstand a floating loss of 161 million? The giant whale is trapped with millions, feels like they have to wait for a rebound, or this position is a bit risky.

Big short frenzy, long positions losing heavily, this is Hyperliquid right now. That guy who was 5x long ETH really dared to do it, and the result was a loss of over 10 million. How strong must his mindset be?

Oh man, this whale really bet wrong. Going all-in with 5x leverage shows how confident he is.

The bears made a lot of profit this wave, the bulls were directly whipped out. --- Whale's 5x full position in ETH... really daring, but also really tragic. --- 1.61 billion in unrealized losses? They're actually working for the bears. --- Wait, is that whale still holding on now, or has it already exploded? --- When will the rebound come? The bulls are almost out of options. --- 51.53% of short positions, is this what you call big fish eating small fish? --- Making over $3,000 on ETH longs now has already lost millions, how much pressure that takes. --- The bears have a profit of 238 million, someone is about to eat noodles. --- Whales can't even predict the market, what to do? --- The contract market is so brutal, today's enemies for the longs are really the whale accounts.
