According to @tradingpsych on Twitter, executing large cryptocurrency trades quietly is critical for minimizing slippage and avoiding adverse price movements. Broadcasting big trades in advance can alert market participants and automated trading bots, leading to front-running and unfavorable fills. Traders moving significant volume are advised to use techniques like iceberg orders or OTC desks to reduce market impact and maintain execution efficiency. This approach is especially important for institutional and whale traders seeking to preserve alpha and mitigate risks in highly liquid and volatile crypto markets (source: @tradingpsych, Twitter, 2024-06-10).

According to Lookonchain, a trader deposited 3.36 million USDC into Hyperliquid and opened a high-leverage 25x short position on Ethereum, totaling 41,947 ETH (approximately $92 million) with an unrealized profit of $658,000. The position’s liquidation price is set at $2,247.1, which is notably close to recent ETH support levels, suggesting the trader anticipates significant downside movement. This sizable short increases market volatility risk and could trigger cascading liquidations if ETH price approaches the liquidation threshold. Crypto traders should monitor ETH price action closely as such large leveraged positions can impact both spot and derivatives markets. Source: Lookonchain on Twitter, May 9, 2025.
