The top 30 long whales on the chain are facing significant losses, especially the whale holding a $31.9 million HYPE long position, which is currently at a floating loss of $21.3 million, with the liquidation price approaching. Other whales are also in trouble, increasing the risk of forced liquidation.

【Chain News】The top 30 long whales holding positions on-chain are not having a good time now, most of them are in deep losses. The most eye-catching is this address (0x082e), which holds a $31.9 million HYPE long position, with an average price of 38.67, currently showing an unrealized loss of $21.3 million(-337%), with a liquidation price stuck at $20.13, hanging by a thread.

Another whale, which was forcibly liquidated for 26 million on December 18, now ranks second. It holds about $13.06 million worth of positions, also with an average price of 38.67, with an unrealized loss of $4.61 million(-177%), and a liquidation price of $21.3.

The most dangerous is the whale at address 0x1c2. It holds a multi-million dollar HYPE position (about $11.14 million), with an unrealized loss of $910,000 (82%), only 2.87% away from liquidation—almost no chance to turn around. Worse, this whale not only has an all-in HYPE long position but also holds a BTC long position in full margin mode, with both positions sharing collateral. BTC is also currently in a loss, caught in the middle. As long as HYPE and BTC decline simultaneously by more than 2%, this address is very likely to face forced liquidation.

HYPE-7,12%

BTC-2,21%

Bullish whales collectively crash; this wave of HYPE is truly a textbook-level negative example.

Oh my god, how did all these whales step on landmines, with a 337% loss... Truly incredible Liquidation can happen at any time, this is the result of risking everything you have 0x1c2 is only 2.87% away from liquidation? Bro, this isn't gambling, this is giving away money

Bro, this is the result of going all-in. I saw this kind of situation back in 2017. Wait, 0x082e's fish lost 337%? That math doesn't add up. First, ask yourself how you've survived until now. It's already 2024, and there are still people daring to go all-in on scams. Young people really aren't afraid of death. That one is only 2.87% away from liquidation... Sigh, this is what it feels like when no one tells me to get off the bus. You get it, right? Three whale investors are all buying at an average price of 38.67, so it seems like us retail investors are really the last line of defense. Looking at this market, I think my Bitcoin is getting more attractive. I won't touch the HYPE for now.

Spending just over 38 bucks really makes you a brave warrior. This time, you're probably going to get a taste of noodles.
