Cerebras (CBRS) fell sharply after releasing earnings on Wednesday, with its perpetual contract dropping 14.2% in an hour and as much as 18% intraday to $224.64 from $261.81. Despite the upbeat report, the token had already rallied roughly 35% over the previous days to $263, suggesting the good news was priced in. On-chain data from TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight) shows two whale shorts never trimmed before the release and rode the whole drop, combining for a gain of about $3.65 million. The largest short, an address starting with 0x999, held $11.6 million in shorts and gained roughly $1.98 million in one hour. Another address, starting with 0xe0f, held $9.73 million in shorts and made about $1.66 million. No large long whale liquidation has been spotted, though 66 small liquidations hit 61 addresses between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m., with a combined $389,000 in notional value. The single largest was a $105,000 position liquidated with a realized loss of $6,908.

Cerebras (CBRS) dived as much as 18% early Thursday after releasing its earnings report. Perp tracker TradingBeats, formerly Hyperinsight, shows two whale-sized shorts sat through the entire sell-off and booked a combined gain of roughly $3.65 million in one hour.

The contract fell from $261.81 to $224.64, an hourly drop of 14.2%, and the intraday maximum loss reached 18%. The report itself carried positive numbers, but CBRS had already climbed from around $195 to $263 in the days before the announcement, a near-35% run-up that may have priced in the good news. Once the numbers were out, the focus shifted to the company's low gross margin and profitability, which may not have matched the valuation built ahead of earnings.

Two whales held through the slide

Neither of the two largest short holders trimmed before the report. An address beginning 0x999 carried roughly $11.6 million in short contracts and logged about $1.98 million in gain within the first hour; its floating profit now sits near $1.35 million. Another address, starting with 0xe0f, held $9.73 million in shorts and gained about $1.66 million in the same stretch, with floating profit around $1.95 million. Combined, the two accounts added about $3.65 million.

No major long liquidation detected

On the long side, no big whale wipeout has been spotted. Between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m., 66 small CBRS liquidations hit 61 addresses, with notional value totaling roughly $389,000. The single largest one saw $105,000 liquidated, realizing a loss of about $6,908.
