According to Lookonchain, a major crypto whale deposited $13 million USDC to Hyperliquid and opened significant short positions on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) using 5x leverage (source: Lookonchain via Twitter, May 10, 2025). This sizable short bet introduces substantial selling pressure to these leading cryptocurrencies, potentially triggering increased volatility and raising short-term bearish signals for traders. The whale's aggressive use of leverage also increases liquidation risk, which could impact price swings if markets move against the position. Traders should closely monitor Hyperliquid and on-chain activity for further large movements that might affect Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana price action.

According to @EmberCN, a whale recently transferred $1.212 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened a 20x leveraged short position on 100,000 SOL, valued at $16.6 million. The short entry price was $164.9, with a liquidation threshold at $172.6. As of the latest update, the position is facing an unrealized loss of $182,000. These high-leverage moves on SOL create increased volatility and may influence short-term trading sentiment for Solana and related crypto derivatives (source: Twitter/@EmberCN).

According to Lookonchain, a trader deposited $1.21 million USDC into Hyperliquid and executed a 20x leveraged short position on Solana (SOL) at $164.9, accumulating a position of 97,500 SOL valued at $16 million, with a liquidation price set at $172.96 (source: Lookonchain, Twitter, May 9, 2025). This aggressive short highlights significant bearish sentiment on SOL, and the large size and high leverage increase the risk of rapid liquidations if SOL's price rallies. Crypto traders should monitor SOL price volatility and liquidity on Hyperliquid, as a potential short squeeze could cause sudden upward price movement and impact broader market sentiment.
