How to read this
Shows: the price of the market from two hours before the move to 45 minutes after it, played once.
Read it: The dot is the move, with the whale’s name and money beside it. Shorts stand above the line, longs below it, a liquidation is a ring on the line. The largest move is the one of $1M or more that moved the most money this day.
Won’t show: the whale’s other moves. Its page holds them.
Crypto
Whales lean short on BTC (63% of $1.70B in whale positions) and on ETH (55% of $1.52B). Retail leans the other way: crowd 76 against the whales' 25. Tracked whales lost $4.1M to liquidation in crypto in the last 24 hours, 73% of it shorts.
TradFi
In TradFi whales lean short on stocks (Tide 35), short on energy (Tide 28) and long on indices (Tide 54). The clearest lean among the headline markets: the S&P 500, 71% long of $169M. Tracked whales lost $4M to liquidation in TradFi in the last 24 hours, 67% of it longs.

Under water
45% of directional whale money is under water.
Over the last 32 daily closes, the share under water ran from 43% to 62%.
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 $213M of the money near liquidation, shorts $66.9M.
Over the last 32 daily closes the total ran from $12.9M to $383M.
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.
