The initial entry price was $103,129.<\/p>\n However, live data from CoinGlass shows that the mysterious whale capitalized on a brief opportunity they had when bitcoin\u2019s price slipped below $103,000 to double down on their position, which is now worth over $393 million (3,790 BTC).<\/p>\n The entry price has been lowered to $103,083, but the liquidation still stands at just shy of $95,600. Given BTC\u2019s current price tag of almost $104,000, the whale stands on a \u201cmodest\u201d unrealized profit of $3.3 million as of now.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n There have been quite a few cases in the past couple of months in which mysterious whales opened large positions on Hyperliquid that caught the community\u2019s attention.
