Micron hits a record earnings high, pulls back 9.6%; a major bullish whale is less than $15 away from liquidation.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, Micron (MU) — which rallied on the back of record earnings — pulled back sharply amid risk-off sentiment triggered by higher-than-expected PCE inflation. It fell roughly 9.6% from its overnight high of ~$1,255, saw intraday flash crashes, and extended losses in after-hours trading. On Hyperliquid, MU is currently trading at $1,128, down 6.9% in 24 hours. On-chain whales remain heavily bearish, with total short positions standing at ~$95.24 million, 1.76 times the long positions ($54.24 million). In terms of entry costs, the average long position price is ~$958.74, while short positions average ~$972.94. The current price remains above both levels, meaning longs are in profit and shorts are deeply underwater. As prices fall, long liquidation pressure has surged. The nearest long liquidation threshold has dropped to ~$1,114.21, just ~2.9% below the current price. This long whale (0x9e2c) holds a 5,000 MU long position with 10x leverage, worth ~$5.6 million at an average entry price of $1,215, with a liquidation price of $1,114 — less than $15 away from the current price. By contrast, the nearest short liquidation threshold is at $1,427.77, roughly 24.4% above the current price, making it relatively safe. The largest short position was opened at $774.99 with 10x leverage, worth ~$15.92 million and currently sitting on an unrealized loss of $5.17 million. - The HyperInsight Bot is now live.
