If BTC rises an additional 2%, a certain whale that shorted $45.22 million yesterday will be forced to liquidate.

According to monitoring by TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), BTC is currently trading at around $80,840, up roughly 4.3% over the past 24 hours. The whale address starting with 0x6046, which opened a large short position yesterday, is now approximately 2.5% away from its liquidation line, making it the largest address on Hyperliquid closest to liquidation at present. The whale shorted 559.4 BTC in batches last night, with an average entry price of $79,318.4. The current value of the short position stands at around $45.218 million, with an unrealized loss of about $851,000, translating to a -38.4% return. It is using 20x full leverage, with a current liquidation price of roughly $82,896.5. A further ~$2,057 (or 2.5%) rise in BTC from its current price would trigger liquidation. As of press time, the whale has not set public stop-loss, take-profit, or position-reduction orders, and still holds the full 559.4 BTC short position. This address is the first active account on Hyperliquid. Yesterday evening, it first received approximately 992,000 USDC from an address starting with 0x6b9e, and began shorting BTC roughly one and a half minutes after the deposit arrived. It later added around 1.6 million USDC as margin in two separate top-ups, accumulating a total of about $2.592 million in capital.
