ZHIPU has rebounded 31% from its recent low, with new short positions opened against the trend losing nearly 40% of their principal.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, ZHIPU on Hyperliquid saw a sharp rebound today to $149.52, with a 31.1% gain from its intraday low to high. As of press time, ZHIPU trades at $146.71. Background: Zhipu (ZHIPU) completed a placement of 19.78 million new H shares on July 13. On July 17, Moonshot AI released its 2.8-trillion-parameter open-source model Kimi K3, which intensified market concerns over China’s large language model competitive landscape, leading to a sustained slump. The stock price halved after the H-share offering, and today it has recouped a portion of those losses. During this rebound, an address starting with 0x52e6 took a contrarian short position early today, with all orders opened at the midpoint of the rally. The address initiated shorts when the stock rose ~12% from its low, adding to positions from $127.5 to $143.2. The position then saw continued gains before noon, leaving only ~$17 of buffer to its liquidation price. It currently holds ZHIPU short positions with 5x isolated margin, worth ~$198,700, with a liquidation price of ~$163.83. The position has an unrealized loss of ~$14,100, a return of ~-38.1%, and has nearly lost 40% of its initial margin. Monitoring shows that, aside from this largest loss-making position, there are 7 new ZHIPU positions exceeding $50,000 opened in the last 2-3 hours during today’s rebound—all short positions, totaling ~$953,200 in value, all currently underwater with a combined unrealized loss of ~$70,800. In contrast, among long positions exceeding $100,000, the average cost is ~$149.66, only ~2% above the current price. Currently, only the largest long position near $159.41 faces real liquidation pressure; the cost lines of the other four long positions have already been reclaimed by the current price.
