【Blockchain Rhythm】On January 19th, there was an interesting market signal. An early HYPE whale (0x020c…) chose to cut losses. Specifically, this individual reduced their long position by 50,000 HYPE tokens, realizing approximately $1,209,500 in cash.

The loss cut was quite aggressive. The remaining long position of $4,776,800 is still on the books but has already incurred a deep loss of 68.87%, with an unrealized loss of $329,000. More painfully, the liquidation price is set at $18.219—still some distance from the current price, indicating how high this whale’s cost basis is.

From the data, this move serves both as a stop-loss and reflects recent pressure on HYPE. The actions of large holders often signal changes in market sentiment and are worth paying attention to.

Big players are really panicking with this round of cutting losses; a 68% deep loss and still have to hold on. How strong must their mentality be?

68.87% loss and still holding on stubbornly. This cost level is truly outrageous... Looks like early investors will have to accept defeat too.

What does a big holder cutting losses indicate? This HYPE wave is a bit uncertain... Holding on despite a 68% loss, how confident are you in this project?

Early big players are starting to exit, this is the real signal... 68% of losses are still being held onto stubbornly, indicating that the bottom may not have been reached yet.

Damn, early big players are all starting to cut, HYPE is really about to break below the bottom line. --- 68% loss and still holding on, how much pressure can they withstand... No, it's more like how much self-deception they can handle haha. --- Big players cashed out over 1.2 million, indicating that some people have indeed recognized the situation, while the remaining retail investors are still dreaming. --- Cost price over 18 yuan? I just want to know how much leverage this guy used at the time. --- Big players cutting losses is a signal, we ordinary people should think about exiting. --- HYPE is really under immense pressure this time, even the believers can't hold on anymore. --- A floating loss of 320,000 directly sold 50,000 tokens, if it were me, I would have already collapsed. --- Is there still a gap between the liquidation price and the current price? That means it can still continue to fall...
