On-chain data from Hyperliquid reveals that whale short positions for both Bitcoin and Ethereum currently exceed long positions by approximately 1.5 times. As of October 5 at 08:19, monitoring of roughly 200 active addresses with over $3 million in value showed BTC longs at $518 million against shorts of $830 million, resulting in a long-to-short ratio of 0.62. Ethereum markets display similar bearish positioning among large traders on the platform. ETH long positions stand at approximately $687 million compared to $1.05 billion in shorts, yielding a long-to-short ratio of 0.65. This data indicates significant downside hedging or speculative selling pressure from high-value accounts on the decentralized exchange.
