On-chain data shows that a well-known swing trader has gradually closed their short positions on HYPE and XPL over the past 6 hours. As of now, this account still holds approximately $38.2 million worth of HYPE short positions on Hyperliquid, with an average entry price of $31.3, and a liquidation price set at $42.7, making it the largest short whale for this token.
Interestingly, the position allocation of this address has recently undergone a significant change. About ten days ago, the account's funds were highly concentrated in ETH and HYPE shorts, accounting for as much as 98.6%. Now, the strategy has clearly diversified, with short positions also opened on assets like BTC, SOL, and kPEPE. The total account size has expanded from $111 million to the current $149 million.
Specifically, the main positions include: approximately $62.89 million in 12x leveraged ETH longs (average entry at $3,108, floating profit of $400,000), approximately $37.60 million in 5x HYPE longs (average entry at $31.3, floating profit of $8.33 million), and approximately $14.76 million in 11x leveraged BTC longs (average entry at $91,800, floating profit of $250,000). This trader's style is high-frequency swing trading, with an average holding period of about 20 hours, actively participating in the market since October last year with around $20 million in principal.

This guy is really ruthless, directly liquidated at the face price with a 38.2 million short position.

This guy is really trying to bottom out HYPE, but the liquidation price of 42.7 feels a bit risky.

What is this whale betting on? Why is it rushing to run?
Wait, is he still holding on to the HYPE short? Crazy.
A short position of $38.2 million, liquidation just waiting for 42.7... That’s really bold.
The strategy suddenly disperses, feels like something’s going to go wrong.
This guy turned 20 million principal into 149 million, truly incredible.
Holding the position for 20 hours before closing, really gambling on market prediction.
But something feels off this time, why add to the position?
Liquidation price at 42.7, if HYPE surges up, it’s game over.
Looking at this position allocation, I just want to laugh. When will it crash?

This guy is really gambling, only liquidated at 42.7? You must be very bearish.

38 million short positions, are the liquidation prices almost hitting? This guy's mental resilience is impressive.

Is this whale backing down? From 98.6% concentrated betting to now a diversified position, it seems like it's giving up.

This guy really has guts. Holding a short position of 38.2 million just like that, with a liquidation price of only a little over $42?

Wow, this guy really isn't afraid of liquidation. He was liquidated at 42.7, definitely a gambler's mentality.
