BlockBeats news, October 23: According to TradingBeats data, the largest short position on Hyperliquid for crude oil (xyz:CL) is nearing liquidation. This address is trading crude oil contracts with aggressive 20x leverage, holding a position size of $12.63 million, opened at $96.70, with a liquidation price of $102.85. The current oil price ($100) is just 2.85% away from triggering liquidation.

Recent oil prices have risen again, driven by the combined impact of escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East and persistent supply constraints. The intensification of tensions between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, increased friction between Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and U.S. forces, and ongoing attacks by Houthi militants on Saudi oil facilities have collectively elevated the risk premium for potential oil supply disruptions.
