Key Takeaways
Who is the Hyperunit whale, and why does this matter?
The Hyperunit whale controls a $10 billion portfolio, predicted major market events, and has gone 3 for 3 on major calls in 2025.
How much could the whale profit from this position?
Based on Fibonacci retracement levels, the whale could make up to $20 million if BTC and ETH recover to key resistance levels.
He turned $850 million into $10 billion. He called the October crash and made $200 million shorting. According to Arkham Intelligence data, this legendary whale has just bet $55 million on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
As of this writing, both assets have declined, falling by around 3% and 6%, respectively. Is this the signal traders need?
The contrarian bet
Analysis showed that Bitcoin dropped 3.24% to $106,950 on 3 November, while Ethereum fell even harder, down 7.13% to $3,627.
While most traders sold, a Hyperunit whale bought, opening $37 million in Bitcoin longs and $18 million in Ethereum longs on Hyperliquid.
This whale doesn’t seem to gamble, and his 2025 track record proves it. Arkham data shows that he bought $850 million of Bitcoin during the 2018 bear market and held it until it reached $10 billion.
Additionally, he rotated $5 billion from Bitcoin to Ethereum between August and October, predicted October’s crash, and profited $200 million from shorts. The October crash wiped off almost $20 billion, for context.
He executed two more winning shorts after the crash, making it three major calls and three wins. Now comes bet number four.
What the Bitcoin and Ethereum Fibonacci numbers say
Fibonacci retracement levels show where Bitcoin and Ethereum could recover, and what the whale stands to gain.

Why this matters
This whale’s pattern recognition consistently beats retail sentiment. He bought fear in 2018, he shorted greed in October, and now he buys fear again.
The October call stands out. He shorted while others remained bullish, and he shorted again as traders bought the dips. He stopped only when markets bottomed. Now he’s long.
If Bitcoin reaches $120,000 and Ethereum hits $4,200, the whale nets $7.67 million. If both push to golden ratio levels, he clears $ 16.6 million.
However, profit isn’t the real story; the signal is. This whale’s track record demands attention, and markets will soon reveal if he goes 4 for 4.
