On December 26th, on-chain monitoring data shows that a mysterious whale on the Hyperliquid platform has once again initiated a short-selling attack. This time, the targets remain the same—BTC and AAVE—two of the most closely watched assets in the market.



Specifically, this whale's short position in BTC is quite substantial, with a current value of approximately $31 million, entered at around $87,718.8. Meanwhile, the AAVE short position, although smaller in size, also amounts to about $100,000, with an entry price of $150.

From this operational logic, it is clear that this is not a tentative short by small investors, but a well-prepared large deployment. Every move by the whale could signal a certain shift in market sentiment, especially in the current volatile environment. The establishment of such large positions often triggers a chain reaction in the market.
BTC1.55%
AAVE1.87%

30.1 million USD short BTC? This whale really wants to stir things up.

Here we go again, this whale really can't stay idle... A short position of 31 million BTC, it seems they really don't believe in this wave of gains.

Whale is at it again, shorting BTC with 31 million USD... What is this guy betting on? --- No way, how does this whale dare to short? I haven't even caught it yet --- Short at the 87718 level? Kinda thinking about betting on a rebound, brother --- It's this whale again, feels like signaling to big players --- AAVE's 100,000 short position is really a bit trivial, mainly focusing on BTC --- This rhythm feels off, seems like there's a story behind it --- Whale movement = market about to change? Not necessarily, sometimes just a trigger for chopping the leeks --- Shorting 31 million so easily, I haven't even recovered my principal yet

Damn, it's happening again? This whale is sitting on BTC every day causing trouble. I feel like I'm being controlled by its candlestick charts every day...

Here we go again, this whale keeps shorting every day. It's really annoying. Can't they just let us retail investors have a moment of peace?
