BTC Top Long/Short Whale Positions Undergoing Major Reshuffle The former top short whale has cut positions and dropped to second place; the new top whale continues to expand shorts; meanwhile, the 40x long whale on the other side keeps adding positions and has become the new #1. Before the CPI release, reduced holdings from existing funds pushed BTC to rebound to $64,450. The whale at address 0xff84…8f1d, closest to the liquidation line, closed 650 BTC shorts in a row, confirming a loss of $167,300. After the price dropped, they added back 269.35 BTC at $63,413–$63,607. Currently, this address holds 1,411.91 BTC in short positions, valued at $89.52M, with a cost basis of $63,899, unrealized profit of $705K, and a liquidation price of $64,130. Their short position ranking has dropped to second place. The direction hasn’t changed, but the position size has decreased from 1,792.56 BTC to 1,411.91 BTC. This smart money preserved its short position at the cost of cutting about 21% of its risk exposure. The new top short whale, 0x66f8…75a9, has net added 268.43 BTC shorts, now holding 1,844.64 BTC, valued at $117M, with a cost basis of $63,962, unrealized profit of $980K, and a liquidation price of $64,863. Despite the heavier position, their liquidation buffer is thicker. On the other side, 0x004e…1bb8 continued to add 500 BTC longs after the CPI release, currently holding 1,500 BTC in long positions, valued at $95.23M, with a cost basis of $63,790, unrealized loss of about $450K, and a liquidation price of $61,825. Currently, 0x004e has become the largest BTC long whale on Hyperliquid. So, last night didn’t result in a one-sided consensus; instead, high-leverage longs and shorts simultaneously expanded positions in the $63,400–$63,600 range. - If BTC recovers $64,000, 0xff84 will face renewed pressure first; - If it drops below $63,400, 0x004e’s newly added long positions will lose their price buffer.
