I just glanced at the Hyperliquid whale leaderboard and almost thought I was reading it backwards—
Everyone’s saying whales are shorting BTC, with shorts piling up to over $900 million, the highest since October 2025, and net shorts at $360 million; but on that same leaderboard, an address called Smartestmoney has gone the other way, holding a 1.38 million $HYPE long worth $107 million, with $53 million in unrealized gains.
Entry price: $38.68. Held for 11 months, with 5x leverage. Liquidation price: $71.09—current price: $77.3, just over 8% away from liquidation.
$HYPE is down 12% in 7 days, still 20% below the September high of $98.
$900 million shorting BTC on one side, $100 million stubbornly long HYPE on the other—two very different convictions on the same platform.
A: Follow the whale; $71 is a solid floor, and a break above $98 puts three digits in sight / B: $53 million in unrealized gains is a sword hanging over its head; the $71 liquidation price is a target
$HYPE $BTC
