According to Lookonchain on X.com, Ethereum (ETH) broke above $2,700, triggering major trading action from a large whale. The trader, who had shorted BTC, ETH, and SOL with 5x leverage, saw his previous $3.5 million profit turn into a $7.6 million loss as prices surged. In response, he deposited an additional $11.9 million USDC into Hyperliquid, raising his total deposits to $62.4 million USDC and further increasing his short exposure. This aggressive move highlights heightened volatility and potential short squeeze risks for leveraged traders in the current crypto market rally (source: Lookonchain, X.com, May 14, 2025).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa) on Twitter, a major BTC short position has been increased to 1414.14 coins, now valued at $147 million. The position was opened at $104,319.2 with a liquidation price of $105,340. With the current BTC price at $104,000, there is only a $1,340 gap before liquidation, putting significant pressure on short traders. The margin posted is $3,679,514.26 USDC, with a realized loss of $383,186.16 and current unrealized profit of $196,000. This high-leverage trade indicates increased volatility risk and may drive short squeezes or rapid liquidations in the crypto market if BTC price surges (Source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter, May 12, 2025).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a notable trader has opted to reduce his BTC short position instead of adding margin, lowering his exposure from 888.88 BTC to 711.11 BTC, now valued at $74.89 million. This adjustment raises his liquidation price to $106,010, which is a critical level for traders to monitor as it impacts market volatility and signals potential short squeeze risks. The trader's aggressive leverage on his first re-entry into the market highlights increased short-term volatility and may influence BTC derivatives trading strategies.

According to Lookonchain, two major crypto wallets, 0x51d9 and 0x5D2F, have collectively opened $137 million in high-leverage short positions against BTC, with 40x leverage and liquidation prices set at $105,690 and $112,660 respectively (source: Lookonchain, May 12, 2025). Such substantial leveraged shorts increase the risk of volatility spikes and potential short squeezes, which could drive rapid BTC price movements. Active traders should closely monitor these positions, as forced liquidations at these price levels may trigger significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market.

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.

According to EmberCN on Twitter, a whale who previously shorted ETH at the $1,800 resistance level changed strategy by aggressively shorting during a price drop, borrowing 6,000 ETH ($10.58M) to sell at $1,764.7. As ETH rebounded shortly after, the whale now sits on an unrealized loss of $186,000. This behavior signals heightened risk for traders copying similar momentum shorts and suggests a potential short squeeze environment if ETH maintains strength above $1,760 (source: EmberCN, Twitter, May 1, 2025).
