While Abraxas Capital’s positions are currently protected from immediate liquidation, the liquidation chart indicates that $22.31 million in long positions could be at risk if HYPE falls to $46, according to a
The contrasting tactics of Abraxas Capital and the 100% Win Rate whale underscore the differing perspectives within Hyperliquid’s trading community. Abraxas is wagering on further declines in BTC and ETH, while the whale’s bullish longs reflect optimism for a short-term recovery. These opposing moves may intensify price volatility as either side gains traction. For now, Hyperliquid remains a key arena for large-scale trading strategies, with the results likely to shape sentiment across the wider crypto market.
