How the Tide is made.
One number for where the largest wallets put their money.
- Whale positions.
Every open position of $1M or more held by the tracked wallets on Hyperliquid (the largest accounts and the most active smaller ones), in every tracked market.
- Directional whales with a record.
Market makers, hedgers and wallets without a track record do not count. At least three whales, or a scope has no Tide.
- Weighted by record.
Each position counts with its size times the wallet's track-record score. One wallet counts with at most 10% of a scope's money.
- The long share, 0 to 100.
50 is even. The crowd uses the same scale: the long share of retail accounts, from a public long/short account ratio, today for crypto.
- A daily close.
The value at 00:00 UTC goes into the history. Today's value moves with every refresh of the whale data.
The words for the number
48 to 52 reads as split, as everywhere on WhaleRadar. More in the methodology and the guide.
Questions
- What is the Whale Tide?
- One number from 0 to 100 for where the largest Hyperliquid wallets put their money. 0 means all of it is short, 100 all long, 50 even. It counts directional whales with a track record, weighted by that record.
- How is it different from Fear & Greed?
- Fear & Greed measures the mood of the market from prices, volatility and social data. The Whale Tide measures money: the open positions of named wallets you can check on Hyperliquid.
- Is the Whale Tide a trading signal?
- No. It describes how whales are positioned. Whales can be wrong, hedged elsewhere or about to change their minds. Not financial advice.
- When does it update?
- With every refresh of the whale data, every few minutes. One value a day, the close at 00:00 UTC, goes into the history. Yesterday, last week and last month are quoted from these closes once the history reaches back that far.
As of 25 Oct 2026 · 06:38 UTC. The Whale Tide describes positioning. It is not a signal. Not financial advice. WhaleRadar earns nothing on your trades.
