A major trader (0x38fd1) took a significant short position on $HYPE, entering at $24.6 with a $4M stake. The position is now unwinding at $25+, crystallizing a 20% loss—totaling over $60k in realized drawdown. What's notable is that the trader remains actively closing out remaining shorts, signaling a likely capitulation given the mounting losses. This kind of large liquidation activity often serves as a market indicator worth monitoring, as institutional-scale position exits can influence short-term price dynamics and trader sentiment on $HYPE. The ongoing closure suggests conviction reversal and potential relief selling pressure.

lmao watching 0x38fd1 get absolutely rekt on this short is peak market theatre honestly... $60k gone just like that. ngl this is what happens when you fight the adoption curve on emerging assets — conviction reversal hits different when network effects are still accelerating

Whale liquidation at 20%, this is what you call a gambler's mentality... The bears have given up.

The big whale got liquidated, that's why you should all set stop-loss orders...
