Last week, dear Bitcoin tumbling below that oh-so-crucial watermark of $100,000, prompted some rather daring daring-do from the imposing whales in Hyperliquid.
These lions of the digital ocean, amassing over $50 million worth of virtual assets, sketched out big, bold bets on a potential further downturn of the crypto sphere, as per the sleuthing disclosures from our good old friends at Coinglass.

Our maritime mythology tagged “Leviathans” – now representing digital behemoths rather than creatures of the sea – currently exhibit a veritable ocean of $3.44 billion in open positions. Oh, the mysteries! $1.15 billion in longs coupled with $2.29 billion in the shorts on the perennial platform.
These whales of notoriety, possessing assets surpassing $50 million, alone delight in predicting further plummets in crypto prices. Meanwhile, according to our Coinglass data, smaller fry, fondly known as “shrimps,” at a wallet size of up to $250, exhibit the most bullish bravado.
And Over the Horizon: Bitcoin’s Social Drama
Following Bitcoin’s dally below $95,000 last Friday, Nov. 14, our dear crypto community entered a rather frightful state, reminiscent of a third-rate horror flick. Such elaborate feelings of fear, uncertainty, and doubt surged skywards.
📈 Though not a guaranteed signal for market turnabouts, the odds of a market comeback swell when Bitcoin’s social dominance waxes. During the notorious tumble below $95K, chatter levels hit their quarterly zenith, signaling a rather disconcerting tide of retail panic & FUD.

This upsurge in social advocacy led to retail fright and forthwith, a market nadir from $120,000 to a more restrained $112,000 within a fortnight for our leading digital asset.
Coincidence? I think not! Bitcoin is once again witnessing a backdrop ripe with these emotional currents, as Santiment coyly intimates at potential “reversal probabilities.”
A veritable circus of reasons has contributed to this grand correction, with massive outflows from Bitcoin-based ETFs in the US taking center stage. Analysts report a net withdrawal of $1.8 billion last week.
Indeed, according to Barron’s, the move away from assets akin to cryptocurrency mirrors investor trepidation concerning rickety economies and overvalued tech and AI equities.
However, dear reader, let us not hastily have our conclusions. When formidable whales defy market consensus while the unsuspecting masses are left floundering, history whimsically conspires to hint that something profoundly significant might be in the offing!
