Among them, long positions amounted to $2.117 billion (49.15% of total), while short positions stood at $2.19 billion (50.85%).

Profit/Loss Breakdown: Bears in Profit, Bulls Bleeding
From an unrealized profit and loss perspective, long positions are currently suffering a collective loss of $158 million, while short positions have gained $37.46 million.

The imbalance in P&L may signal growing bearish sentiment in the short term.
Key Whale Address: 5x Full Position Long HYPE Down $38.22M
Notably, whale address 0x082e..88 opened a 5x leveraged full-position long on HYPE at $38.6755. As of now, the unrealized loss on this trade has reached $38.22 million. Such an aggressive full-margin high-leverage strategy is uncommon even among whales. Should HYPE continue to decline, this address faces elevated liquidation risk, serving as a cautionary tale for leveraged traders.
