Interesting series of maneuvers. According to on-chain data, two wallets controlled by the same whale recently transferred $7.9 million worth of USDC to the HyperLiquid platform and immediately placed orders afterward.

Specifically, wallet "0x8Fc" placed buy orders for ETH within the price range of $3,267.2 to $3,275.7, while also positioning ADA between $0.3851 and $0.3888. Another wallet, "0xCe8," continuously placed ETH orders between $3,267.3 and $3,273.5.

The order strategies of these two wallets seem very rhythmic—they're not rushing in all at once but layering their positions. What does this operation indicate? Either the whale expects the price to explore further or is actively building a position without wanting to push the market price up all at once. Regardless of the case, the scale of $7.9 million, with the main targets locked on ETH and ADA, is a signal that market participants should pay attention to.

$7.9 million layered buy orders, is this guy really testing the bottom or just trying to secretly buy the dip... In my opinion, this kind of phased positioning usually has only two outcomes: either a smooth profit or getting trapped. I’m tempted to follow the trend but I don’t have that much capital, so it’s a bit awkward.

7.9 million dollars layered deployment, this guy really knows how to play. He's probably waiting for us to buy the dip on the way down.

7.9 million dollars worth of layered order book eating, this whale is playing very carefully... Looks like there's still more downside to come.

7.9 million dollars in layered orders? This guy is probably going to take our orders again, same old tricks.

7.9 million is not a small number, this technique has some skill... I've seen this layered strategy too many times, smart people all play like this.

7.9 million dollars worth of layered deployment of ETH and ADA, this guy really doesn't want to disturb the market... Looks like he's slowly accumulating chips at low levels.
