It's been a while since we've seen big moves from whales on the ETH/BTC trading pair.
Today, I just discovered a whale wallet (0x89B…A7358) added 1 million USDC margin to Hyperliquid four hours ago. The current position is: long 218 BTC (approximately $19.17 million) and short 5294.36 ETH (about $15.6 million). This move clearly indicates a bearish outlook on ETH relative to BTC.
Looking at the current data, the ETH/BTC exchange rate has dropped to 0.03358. Compared to the peak of 0.04328 during August's rally, it has retraced over 22%. This whale's timing for positioning is quite good, right in the window of this decline.

1,000,000 USDC coming in, this pace is incredible. Why didn't I keep up again?

This whale is really bold, opening a short position with over 5,000 ETH?
---
It's another time-based operation. It seems big players have already been eyeing this position.
---
A 22% retracement. Oh no, my ETH bag is suffering again.
---
Damn, if the rebound reaches 0.04, what if the shorts get liquidated?
---
A margin of one million dollars, just like that. Even us retail investors can only dream of this.
---
BTC has been strong and bullying ETH for a long time. This time, the bearish call was really on point.
---
The contract whales' sense of smell is incredible. I'm still debating whether to cut losses.
---
If this wave of shorts succeeds, we'll have to see what that whale does next.
---
A 22% retracement only brings it to 0.03358? Seems like there's still room to go down.
---
The key is whether BTC will continue to surge sharply, or else it will be hard to say if ETH rebounds.

Whale's move is solid; when BTC is strong, this is how it should be played.

This whale's move is really aggressive, directly smashing over 5,000 ETH short positions without holding back at all.

The whale's move is brilliant, BTC is strong while ETH is weak, this spread is a comfortable profit.

Whale's move is indeed precise; a 22% retracement is not a small amount.
