Hyperliquid Whale Confrontation: Bears Take the Lead, Large Orders 5x Long ETH in a Dilemma

2025-12-17 02:08:13

【Crypto Push】According to the latest data from Coinglass, the whale concentration on the Hyperliquid platform is heating up. The total whale holdings currently amount to $5.352 billion, with long positions accounting for $2.556 billion (47.76%), and short positions holding $2.796 billion (52.24%)—slightly favoring the bears.

From the profit and loss perspective, longs are under significant pressure. Long positions are currently floating at a loss of $265 million, while shorts are floating at a profit of $362 million due to the market downtrend. The profit divergence between longs and shorts has already formed.

It is worth noting that a leading whale address chose an aggressive 5x full margin long position at an ETH price of $3,167.05. This bet is currently facing difficulties—the unrealized loss has already expanded to $41.1373 million, exposing the double-edged sword nature of leverage. In this bearish market, the large holder’s aggressive long strategy is undergoing a severe market test.

Here comes another story about cutting leeks, daring to go all-in with 5x leverage and still boasting? That’s just a gambler’s downfall. --- The short sellers have been really aggressive this time, losing over 40 million. Only those with a big heart can endure this. --- Even the whales are fighting each other. Can’t we retail investors just stay out of it? --- Leverage is truly a trap. One retracement and it’s gone. Luckily, I never touched it. --- That whale is just so-so. Thinking 5x can turn things around? The market won’t indulge you.

5x full position? This guy is really playing with fire. Losing 41 million and still holding on. The bears are really fierce this time, the bulls are a bit miserable. This is the fate of leverage; if you bet right, you're a god, if you bet wrong, you explode. Whales are so entrenched in confrontation, small investors should stop meddling. It seems the bears are about to monopolize this round; the bulls are too passive. This is the real "a night back to the pre-liberation era." Not everyone can play with leverage. If ETH price drops further, this whale might get liquidated. Entering long now is just giving away money; the bears' momentum is too strong. Another story of greed, full leverage at 5x, dreaming big. Looking at these data, shorting is making a killing, longing is crying.

Here is the translation: Once again, this kind of market... Going all-in with 5x leverage to go long at this level, really not far from liquidation. The current bearish wave is indeed fierce, with over 40 million in unrealized losses, it’s painful just to look at. Whales are fighting each other, retail investors should just sit back and watch. This is why I say leverage is like a drug, brother. How long can Hyperliquid’s current short position last? It feels like a rebound is just around the corner. Major players might not even be making money, which reassures me haha. Bears at 52%, bulls at 48%, it feels like a reversal is coming. A loss of 41 million, if it were me, I’d have already gone all-in and added to my position... Wait, I’d already be broke. Whales are also crashing, what’s there for us small investors to fear? This is what we call the risk of big players; having too large a position can become a burden.

It's another celebration for the bears; the bulls are really getting wrecked. What about that whale's brain? Going all-in with 5x leverage at 3167, now losing over 41 million and still holding on? This is the gambler's mentality—greed is deadly.

This whale is really bold, risking all 3,167 USD with 5x leverage to buy the dip, now losing over 40 million, serves them right. The bears are clearly targeting the bulls' critical point; with such high concentration, a blowup is inevitable. 5x leverage is basically gambling with your life. I think this guy is going to have to cut losses. Once this data comes out, it's obvious who's getting hurt; the bulls are really in trouble this time. The biggest risk in a showdown between big funds is being caught in a reverse squeeze; more casualties are expected. Bears hold 52%, bulls 47%; it seems close, but the gap is actually huge. Remember the lesson from a certain whale last time—an aggressive move that wiped everything out; history really repeats itself. With such clear bullish-bearish divergence, they should have already run; continuing to go all-in is just reckless. That whale probably just wants to experience the thrill of bankruptcy; 41 million USD should be considered tuition. Hyperliquid is eyeing this market greedily; ordinary people should stay far away.
