BlockBeats News, February 9 — According to Coinbob’s popular address monitoring, the on-chain largest long whale “Hyperliquid early contributor Loracle” has recently achieved a profit of approximately $11.5 million this week through a strategy of “continuously going long on HYPE, building positions within the wave on BTC and ETH.” Its account funds have increased from less than $7 million to about $41.1 million in less than a month, nearly six times the original amount, with only one large transfer of $7.44 million during this period.
This address currently serves as the largest long position holder on HYPE and the largest short on BTC on Hyperliquid. Its operating pattern involves holding long positions on HYPE for the long term, supplemented by wave trading on BTC and ETH. Over the weekend, it completed four wave trades within two days: first profiting $6.37 million from short positions on BTC and ETH, then reversing to long positions and earning an additional $3.82 million. Last night and this morning, the address again opened new short positions on BTC and ETH, continuing its strategy. Its main holdings are as follows:
HYPE (5x long): approximately $48.52 million in position size, average price $24.37, floating profit about $12.46 million (+128%).
BTC (20x short): approximately $43.15 million in position size, average price around $70,073, floating loss about $510,000 (-24%).
ETH (20x short): approximately $10.15 million in position size, average price around $2,056, floating profit about $140,000 (-27%).

On-chain data shows that unrealized losses among holders are close to $60 billion, and market risk is increasing. The macroeconomic environment is unfavorable; institutional capital is returning slowly. Technical analysis indicates that the key resistance level is $71,500 and the support level is $64,000.
