Over 30 days

Funding moved about 0.87% of a position’s value from longs to shorts. At today’s rate, the tracked whales here receive about $21K a day.

How to read this

Shows: how much money is open in this market, the part tracked whales hold, and what holding a position costs or earns.

Read it: A growing whale part means whale money gathers here faster than everyone else’s. Funding above zero means longs pay shorts every hour, because more money wants to be long.

Won’t show: what other exchanges hold, or where the price goes next.

About the data: The whale share of older days is reconstructed from the Hyperliquid blockchain with today’s track records, so it can differ a little from what the radar showed on the day.

No open interest was recorded on 25 Oct. The lines break there.

Liquidations

$5.8M of whale longs sit within 20% of liquidation, and no shorts.

A fall would force out more whale money than a rise.

Point at a price, tap it or use the arrow keys: the line says what would be forced out from the price to there, and whose it is.

One whale position at its liquidation price: length is its money, strength its track recordMoney from the price outward, its own scaleLongShort

Within 10%

If ZEC falls 10%, $5.8M of whale longs would be forced to sell. If it rises 10%, no whale short would be forced to buy.

How to read this

Shows: where tracked whale positions would be forced out, 20% either side of the price, by the money at each level.

Read it: The longer a block, the more money would be forced out at that price. The nearer it sits to the price line, the smaller the move that reaches it.

Won’t show: whether the price gets there. A liquidation price holds for the account as it stands and moves when the whale adds margin or changes leverage.

Exits

Whales put $50.9M into ZEC in the last 24 hours and took $50.2M out.

Whales added to shorts. Longs stayed about level.

How to read this

Shows: whale moves on the price at the moment they happened, and the same money added up per hour below.

Read it: A dot and its bar are the same money. Moves read differently before a rise, during a fall and after it.

Won’t show: why a whale moved. A close can take a profit, cut a loss or end a hedge.
