On-chain data monitoring shows that at 11:36 this morning, a whale chose to close a long position worth $9.15 million in HYPE, resulting in a loss of $220,000. Interestingly, this address had a pretty good track record before — earning a total of $172,000 from just 3 short trades on HYPE. It seems that this recent loss on the long side has somewhat broken its profit-making record. From the data, market opinions on HYPE's direction vary, and the actions of the big players also tend to reflect the market's volatility.

HYPE-2,56%

Losing 220,000 is still acceptable; this whale has a pretty good stress tolerance.

Whales also got wrecked, this time they really greedily overextended. Previously, short positions made a lot of profit, but a large long position directly lost 220,000, it cracked me up.

Haha, even Big Fish had a setback. This time, the long positions really didn't hit the right rhythm.

Here we go again, even big players have their bad days... A long position of $9.15 million directly lost $220,000, this wave is really a bit frustrating. Previously, I made over $170,000 from shorting and it was quite stable, but why does going long always fail? HYPE is truly a volatile ghost among coins.

Big Whale lost 220,000 but can still hold on. I, a retail investor, lose 2,000 on a single trade and want to smash my phone... This must be the gap.

Oops, even this whale has its bad days. Shorting earned 170,000, but going long resulted in a loss of 220,000. This move was really a bit disappointing.
