According to Crypto Rover, a major whale has just opened a massive $36 million long position on Ethereum (ETH), signaling heightened bullish sentiment among large investors. This substantial accumulation by whales is seen as a potential catalyst for upward price movement and increased trading activity in the ETH market. Traders are closely monitoring whale behavior for short-term price action, as large-scale positions can significantly impact liquidity and volatility in the cryptocurrency market (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, May 8, 2025).

According to Lookonchain, a crypto whale created a new wallet and deposited $8.58 million USDC into Hyperliquid to open a 2x leveraged long position on Ethereum (ETH) at an entry price of $1,930.41. The whale's unrealized profit reached $354,000 as of the report. This significant position indicates strong bullish sentiment and may influence ETH price action, increasing short-term volatility and attracting copy trading strategies from retail investors.

According to Lookonchain, Bitcoin has reclaimed the $98,000 level, with a prominent whale executing a 40x leveraged long position on BTC and a 25x long on ETH, resulting in an unrealized profit exceeding $970,000 (source: Lookonchain via Twitter, May 8, 2025; hypurrscan.io). These high-leverage moves indicate growing confidence and aggressive trading behavior among large investors, which could fuel further volatility and liquidity in both Bitcoin and Ethereum markets. Traders should monitor whale activity closely as such positions may lead to rapid price swings and potential cascading liquidations.
