The data also highlights one large trade: whale address 0xff84..1d opened a 40x cross-margin short position on Bitcoin at $63,999.2, and the trade currently holds an unrealized profit of $529,200. Although the aggregate figures are nearly even, short positions hold a narrow lead in both size and P&L. The reported numbers cover overall whale exposure on Hyperliquid and single out the prominent BTC short; no liquidation levels or entry details beyond the price and leverage were disclosed for the broader whale cohort.
