The day’s largest move, replayed
Grey Leviathan trims its BTC short by $45.2M to $117M over 3 days.
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 (59% of $1.81B in whale positions) and on HYPE (55% of $1.16B). The rest of Hyperliquid leans the other way: 62 against the whales' 26. Tracked whales lost $113M to liquidation in crypto in the last 24 hours, 94% of it longs.
TradFi
In TradFi, whales lean short on stocks (Tide 35), lean short on indices (Tide 39) and lean short on energy (Tide 25). The clearest lean among the main TradFi markets: Nvidia, 74% short of $228M. Tracked whales lost $1.8M to liquidation in TradFi in the last 24 hours, all of it longs.
Under water
41% of directional whale money is under water.
Over the last 32 daily closes, the share under water ran from 40% 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 $101M of the money near liquidation, shorts $134M.
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.

How to read this
Shows: the price of each market hit hardest, from 30 minutes before the cascade to 10 minutes after. Each circle is one tracked whale liquidation, placed at the second it filled and sized by its value.
Read it: The larger the circle, the larger the position. Circles crowded where a line moves fastest are positions liquidated during that move. The replay shows the two markets with the most money liquidated first, then the rest.
