The whale day of 23 Oct 2026.
Whale Tide 24, strongly short at the day's close. 59% of directional whale money was under water.
Under water
Money at a loss at the day's closing price, counted like the Tide: directional whales only. Hedges and market makers stay out, because one leg of a hedge is always at a loss.
Near liquidation
Longs hold $18.1M of the money near liquidation, shorts $26.2M.
Whale money within 5% of its liquidation price, every wallet counted. Longs there would be forced to sell into a fall, shorts to buy into a rise.
