Loracle adjusts crypto market exposure by reducing HYPE short positions from 1.83 million to 1.73 million contracts, while adding new SOL shorts and closing minor VVV and LIT positions. The trader holds 892,000 HYPE tokens valued at $59 million. With the Fear & Greed Index near euphoria levels, traders are monitoring Loracle for potential spot sales, which could pressure HYPE’s price. Recent ETF inflows have pushed HYPE to new highs, but a potential pullback remains a key concern.

ChainThink reports that, according to on-chain data, prominent trader Loracle recently adjusted their cryptocurrency positions, slightly reducing their short position in HYPE, initiating a new short position in SOL, and closing their small short positions in VVV and LIT.

Its HYPE short position size has decreased from approximately 1.83 million contracts to 1.73 million, a reduction of about 100,000 contracts. The position remains underwater, with unrealized losses of approximately $35 million and a liquidation price of around $91.51.

Loracle currently holds approximately 892,000 HYPE spot tokens, valued at around $59 million at current prices.

Driven by ETF expectations and capital inflows, HYPE has recently continued to set new all-time highs, and the market is closely monitoring whether it will sell spot holdings in the coming days, potentially impacting its price.

Previously, Loracle published a comparison between HYPE and SOL ETFs, suggesting a potential pullback risk for HYPE; the related content has since been removed.

The market generally believes that subsequent position changes will remain an important indicator for observing HYPE’s short-term price movement.
