On-chain derivatives sentiment is shifting, with whales already betting on a "range breakout" in advance.
Glassnode points out that large trading accounts on the Hyperliquid platform have been continuously increasing their long positions over the past two months, mainly focusing on "breaking through the upper boundary of the range."
This behavior sends a very clear signal:
The main capital is not observing during volatility but is proactively positioning for trend initiation.
Structurally, the continuous increase in long positions indicates two points:
First, large traders have an increased expectation of "bottom confirmation" in the current price range;
Second, they have high confidence in future volatility expansion and upward breakthroughs.
But what needs to be cautious of is—
When market consensus is too strong, a short-term "counter-trend shakeout" is more likely to occur.
The key to the current market is not whether there are longs, but whether the longs are already too crowded.
Follow me for ongoing analysis of whale position changes and trend initiation signals.
