54% of active large-wallet money on Polkadot is positioned long right now: $1.5 M long against $1.3 M short, spread over 50 wallets on Hyperliquid. With the book close to even, whale positioning is not telling you much here — the useful reads are the chart and the derivatives below. These are open positions read from the chain, not opinions, and they change daily.

3. Polkadot is parked in the lower third of its 90-day range
Polkadot is 4% of the way up its 90-day range, which runs from $0.7874 to $1.439; over 30 days the market is −3.03%. The same headline number means something different at the top of a range than at the bottom — which is why position is worth naming.
