March 27 — According to HyperInsight Monitoring (via Telegram: @HyperInsight), the whale 0xebe, linked to ceasefire expectation bets, currently holds two hedged positions totaling ~$40 million. The combination appears to wager on: 1. A stock market rebound driven by falling oil prices; 2. The expected finalization of U.S.-Iran negotiations. **Position Breakdown:** - S&P 500 Long: $29.56 million, initiated yesterday at an average price of $6,597 — currently the largest on-chain long position for the asset. - U.S. (WTI) & Brent Crude Longs: Total $10.2 million, with WTI averaging $91 and Brent averaging $99. **Market Turnaround:** Today’s news has turned negative: A new U.S. proposal has cooled negotiation expectations, while former President Trump’s ambiguous statement and Iran’s tough response have prolonged talks, eroding confidence in a ceasefire.
