On-chain data monitoring shows that a whale on Hyperliquid has been continuously building short positions. The latest movement is that this short seller's position in BTC has reached approximately $31 million, with an opening average price set at $87,718.8 — a level significantly higher than the current market price, indicating that the whale is shorting at a high level and is quite bearish on the future market trend.



At the same time, this player has also opened a $100,000 short position on AAVE at an entry price of $150. This multi-asset shorting strategy usually suggests that the whale is hedging risk or has a clear judgment on the overall market direction. Especially considering the scale of the BTC short position, it is worth paying close attention to participants involved in on-chain leveraged trading.
BTC-2,19%
AAVE-14,49%

$31 million short? Is this whale serious? Betting big

---

Shorted at high level 87718... How strong must this guy's mental resilience be?

---

Here we go again with hedging, always the same approach. Can the market still rise?

---

AAVE is also shorting, is this going to shake the entire market?

---

Wait, is this really hedging or just trying to make quick money?

---

Leverage traders need to be cautious; whale movements usually have follow-up actions.

---

Shorted BTC with $31 million... I'm just waiting to see how they close the position later.

3.1 million short positions? How bearish is this whale, I’m really feeling a bit scared.

---

Starting to eat whale’s orders again. Can we finally hold the bottom this time?

---

Wait, opening a short at 87718? That price level is a bit outrageous. Does he know something we don’t?

---

Multi-coin short positions, feeling like it’s hinting that something bad is about to happen.

---

100,000 AAVE short positions against 31 million BTC short positions, this rhythm feels off.

---

Whales going short, just do it. Anyway, I’ve been bearish for a long time.

---

Can we stop always watching the whales? Let’s try a short position ourselves.

---

This whale’s operation is a bit cautious. The average price is much higher than the current price. Are they really bearish or just trying to attract attention?

Damn, is this the rhythm of another whale dumping? 31 million short positions is really outrageous.

---

Shorting at high levels... this guy must be either a genius or crazy.

---

Wait, a $150 AAVE short? Feels like he's betting on systemic risk.

---

Something's off with this rhythm. Why are whales suddenly so bearish?

---

Are they about to start dumping again? I just want to buy the dip.

---

Shorting across multiple currencies—are they planning something or is there real data backing this?

---

31 million in positions, one rebound and he’ll get liquidated. It looks a bit intense.

---

Hyperliquid, this whale's move is too aggressive. Need to keep a close eye.

---

Shorting at high levels is normal, but the question is whether there’s funding coming in later.

---

Why are they still opening short positions now... Is there insider information?

The big whale is going crazy again, directly shorting BTC with 31 million. This guy is quite determined to be bearish.

The whale is setting up such a large short at the top, we need to be careful.

This scale... feels like either a hedging expert or just throwing money away haha.

Shorting multiple cryptocurrencies at the same time is really a bold move.

The price at 87718... is definitely betting on a decline.

How much leverage would it take to dare to do this size of position?

Another whale wants to be a prophet, betting that we all follow? Not following.

A large short position has been dumped, we need to keep a close eye on it.

I suspect this whale has no idea what will happen next, just throwing a tantrum.
