Wintermute: Boosts Shorts to $190.77M on Hyperliquid

Wintermute deposited millions more into Hyperliquid and raised short exposure from $146.19M to $190.77M, adding roughly $44.58M in fresh shorts with top positions including $ETH at $53.02M, $BTC at $30.66M, $SOL at $22.62M, $HYPE at $11.43M and $XRP at $10.19M for a combined unrealized PnL of -$5.85M. At the current ETH price of $2454.84 the position sits inside Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $2518.46 and lower support at $2323.7; price testing that upper band while RSI(14) prints 68.92 suggests a healthy retracement toward the EMA50 support at $2231.18 before any continuation higher, especially with MACD already flashing a death cross. This move aligns with broader crypto derivatives trading flows and ETH price prediction models that flag near-term volatility exhaustion.
