ChainCatcher reports that Hyperinsight data show a large Hyperliquid long position tied to address 0x1e9 fully closed its BTC long within the past 10 minutes at $71,463, briefly adding selling pressure. The position was opened at 6:00 today when BTC traded above $72,000. The trader held 247 BTC, valued at roughly $17.65 million. As prices slipped, the address exited quickly via a stop-loss, taking an estimated loss of around $180,000 on the trade.

Bitcoin and Ethereum's rally after the ceasefire was fueled by fresh long positioning in perpetual futures, according to CryptoQuant. The data show open interest for both assets jumped by more than $2 billion each.

Amy Oldenburg said Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF delivered its best first trading day to date, underscoring rising institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure and broader crypto ETF products.

HuoXing Finance reported on April 10 that Hyperinsight tracking shows a large whale account is coming under pressure after a strategy that previously performed well in down markets. The address has historically gone long the BTC/altcoin exchange rate, betting Bitcoin would outperform altcoins during selloffs. With BTC recently stabilizing and HYPE continuing to climb—rising above $40 today with a daily gain of more than 5%—both legs of the trade have moved against the whale, leading to an estimated $900,000 drawdown on the day. The wallet currently holds a $30.4 million BTC long position at 40x leverage and a $23.2 million HYPE short position at 5x leverage. The whale began building the position during HYPE's last major rally and completed the full allocation on March 20, for a combined size of roughly $53 million. Since entering, the trade is down about $300,000 net, with no realized profit so far. The same address previously ran a similar setup—long BTC while short eight other assets including ETH, XRP, and ADA—with total exposure of around $50 million; that campaign was profitable, with cumulative gains still standing at approximately $37.1 million.

Bitcoin $BTC rose 5% and Ethereum $ETH gained 8% after the U.S. and Iran announced a two-week ceasefire. CryptoQuant said the move was fueled by fresh long positioning, with perpetual futures open interest surging across both assets. The firm noted short liquidations were not the main driver in this rally, pointing instead to stronger bullish conviction. Bitcoin's taker buy-sell ratio moved above 1.0, and Ethereum showed a similar pickup in buy-side pressure. Coinbase's Premium Index also turned positive for BTC and ETH, ending weeks of negative readings in U.S. markets.

Huoju Finance reported on April 10, citing Hyperinsight data, that after Bitcoin rebounded above $72,000, a whale address beginning with 0x2fc saw a 40x leveraged BTC short position liquidated in two waves. The first round occurred at 23:00 last night, with two back-to-back liquidations totaling 423.4 BTC (about $30.5 million). One liquidation alone reached $24.4 million, the largest single liquidation on the network over the past 24 hours. The short was opened at 17:00 yesterday. After the initial liquidations, the address re-entered a 40x BTC short of 176 BTC (about $12.83 million) with a very tight liquidation threshold. That position was liquidated again at 07:00 this morning, ranking as the day's largest liquidation. Across both waves, total liquidations exceeded $43.3 million, with an overall loss of $580,000. The address has since opened a third 40x short, but reduced capital now supports only 67 BTC (about $4.85 million), with a liquidation price of $72,669.
