March 18th — Per HyperInsight monitoring, the whale address neoyokio.eth (0x152) holds the largest ASTER long position on Hyperliquid: its 4x leveraged position is now worth $19.2 million, with an unrealized gain of $2.7 million (a 56.4% return). The whale has a track record of strategic accumulation: it finished initial batch buying at $0.69 on January 28, then bought the dip aggressively near $0.56 during a deep ASTER retracement (adding counter to the trend). On February 11, after ASTER broke above $0.7 and entered narrow-range consolidation for nearly a month, the address continued small position adds, lowering its average entry price to $0.636. With recent market momentum, Hyperliquid data shows ASTER hit a nearly two-month high above $0.78 overnight and this morning — but the whale has not adjusted its position. The token is now trading at $0.737. Links: [HyperInsight monitoring](https://t.me/HyperInsight) [Hyperliquid data](https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/NTOD)
