Odaily News According to monitoring, the PLTR contract on Hyperliquid is currently trading at $172.32, rebounding 39.3% from its 7-day low of $123.74. The 24-hour trading volume is approximately $7 million, with open interest valued at around $33.986 million. One whale currently holds 39% of the total platform open interest for this asset, and their order size is equivalent to 78% of the asset's total open interest value.
After the price increase, the largest short seller, a whale, is currently in a losing position. This whale is shorting 78,300 PLTR contracts with 10x isolated leverage, with a position value of approximately $13.5 million, an average entry price of $169.46, and an unrealized loss of about $224,000. The liquidation price is $187.08, roughly 8.6% above the current price. The whale has set up three layers of orders around its existing short position, totaling $26.6 million, making it the largest order placer for PLTR at present.
Near the $172 price level, the whale has placed 24 reduce-only buy orders, planning to cover 5,845.7 short contracts with a notional value of approximately $1.006 million; in the $167.3 to $171.41 range, 49 buy orders have been placed, planning to purchase 101,200 PLTR contracts with a notional value of approximately $17.002 million, at a weighted average order price of about $167.98. If all of these are filled, the remaining short position would be closed, potentially converting to a long position of approximately 28,700 PLTR contracts; in the $175.9 to $179.08 range, 49 sell orders have been placed, planning to sell 54,300 PLTR contracts with a notional value of approximately $9.6 million, at a weighted average order price of about $176.8. If PLTR rises first after the market opens, this batch of orders would expand its short position to approximately 132,600 contracts.
Currently, PLTR's 24-hour trading volume is approximately $7 million, with open interest valued at around $33.986 million, and an hourly funding rate of approximately +0.00042%. The market has not yet shown obvious long-side crowding. This whale primarily trades US equities and is a high-frequency event-driven trader, often using positions worth tens of millions of dollars and dense laddered orders to rotate between storage, semiconductor, and technology stocks. Since May, its cumulative contract profits have reached approximately $17.44 million.
