On 12 November Nvidia announced that Jensen Huang had resigned. The timeline with its sources, and where whales sit in NVDA before its quarterly results on 17 November.

What we don’t know yet

Trade timing alone says nothing about what a trader knew. Many traders position before scheduled events. Times are when a move was first seen on Hyperliquid and when a report was first published.

NVDA on Hyperliquid is a perp margined in USDC. It gives no claim on Nvidia shares.
