Hyperliquid Liquidation Event Triggers Market Uncertainty for Traders
Solana (SOL) experienced a price fluctuation after reaching $146, its highest since early March, before dropping to $137. This decline may be linked to chaotic events surrounding the memecoin JELLYJELLY.
- A trader opened a $6 million short position on JELLYJELLY and manipulated its price, leading to significant losses for Hyperliquid's risk pool.
- The vault faced an unrealized loss exceeding $10.5 million but managed to close the position profitably at $0.0095, resulting in around $700,000 in gains.
- Hyperliquid delisted JELLYJELLY perps due to suspicious activity and plans to reimburse affected users based on onchain data.
- Market sentiment turned cautious due to liquidation fears, impacting Solana prices.
- Despite recent volatility, Solana's fundamentals show positive trends in daily active wallets, DEX volume, and DePIN usage.
Investors are advised to monitor developments as the situation evolves.
