โœ… A whale just deposited $3.876M USDC on Hyperliquid

โœ… Opened a massive 25x short on Ethereum at $2,568.12

โœ… Signals strong bearish sentiment from a high-conviction trader

Such a high-leverage position could mean one of two things:

The whale expects ETH to crash in the short term

It might be a hedging strategy against a larger ETH holding

At 25x leverage, just a 4% drop = 100% profit

But even a small price move upward could lead to liquidation

โ–ช Some traders now expect near-term volatility in ETH

โ–ช Macro factors (like SEC ETF delays) or ETH gas metrics might be influencing this bet

โ–ช Could this move spark a mini correction in Ethereum?

โ€œThis is not your average degen trade,โ€ said one on-chain analyst. โ€œWhale shorts of this scale often reflect advanced signals or institutional hedging. Either way, the ETH market is on alert.โ€

Do you think ETH will drop below $2,500 soon?
