The BTC price dropped sharply, causing a major whale on Hyperliquid to lose an $8.8 million long position. The whale, address 0xc6c, had opened the position at $82,000 with 35x leverage. As the BTC price declined, the position neared liquidation with only a $50 buffer. After a brief rebound to $81,680, BTC price fell again, triggering widespread liquidations. Whale activity was evident as the trader manually closed the position within 10 minutes, leaving less than $100,000 in the account.

HuoXing Finance reports, according to Hyperinsight monitoring, during last night’s sustained pullback from BTC’s high, the Hyperliquid whale at 0xc6c逆势 accumulated positions, going long 109.7 BTC with 35x leverage, totaling $8.8 million at an average price of $82,000, with a liquidation price set at $80,650. Early this morning, as BTC’s decline continued, the price briefly touched near the liquidation level, with a spread of less than $50 (approximately 0.06%). The whale likely abandoned liquidation for the first time due to having already lost most of its capital. Later in the afternoon, BTC rebounded to around $81,680, significantly recovering its paper value and narrowing unrealized losses; however, the whale again chose to hold. Finally, during a second downward move in the past 10 minutes, large-scale liquidations occurred, after which the whale manually exited before the next liquidation cycle, leaving the account with less than $100,000.
