Market summary from our own Hyperliquid data · updated 2026-07-25 04:14 UTC

Qualcomm: The whale book is crowded short

Qualcomm is down 17.30% over a month. What follows is what sits behind that move: large-wallet positioning, derivatives, our own model and publisher headlines.

What matters on Qualcomm right now?

Here is where Qualcomm actually stands, measured from our own Hyperliquid data. What stands out right now:

What does the Qualcomm data show?

1. The whale book is crowded short

45% of active large-wallet money on Qualcomm is positioned short right now: $1.2 M long against $1.5 M short, spread over 22 wallets on Hyperliquid. A one-sided short book presses on price, but it is also the raw material for a squeeze: shorts must buy to close, and they all buy at once. These are open positions read from the chain, not opinions, and they change daily.

2. Leverage is paying up to stay positioned

Perpetual funding runs at 51.90% annualised, so longs are paying shorts to keep their positions open. Funding is a crowding tax: the more one-sided the book, the more it costs to stay on that side, and the more likely the weakest hands there get squeezed out. Open interest stands at $4.5 M — that is the size of the leveraged book that has to be closed eventually.

Open interest$4.5 M

3. Qualcomm is parked in the lower third of its 34-day range

Qualcomm is 6% of the way up its 34-day range, which runs from $163.840 to $234.000; over 30 days the market is −17.30%. The same headline number means something different at the top of a range than at the bottom — which is why position is worth naming.

Dates we can verify and levels that would change the read on Qualcomm. No project roadmaps here — only schedules that exist on-chain or in the company calendar, and thresholds measured from our own data.

  • scheduled
    Earnings report in 4 daysQualcomm reports on this date, with the street looking for $2.27 per share on $9.85 B of revenue. The company has beaten the EPS estimate in 4 of the last 4 quarters, including the last 4 in a row.
  • Close below $163.840 (2.55% away)That is the floor of the 34-day range. A daily close below it undercuts the structure and would file a breakdown entry in the log above.

Frequently asked questions

What is the latest news on Qualcomm?

The most recent development we recorded is: The whale book is crowded short (2026-07-25). This page is a dated log computed from market data rather than a press feed — every entry is a measurement with the date it happened.

How often is the Qualcomm page updated?

Once a day: it is recomputed after the daily candle closes, and the time of the last update is printed at the top of the page. Log entries are dated by the day the event happened, not the day we published it.

Where does the Qualcomm data on this page come from?

From Hyperliquid directly: daily candles, open interest, funding and the on-chain positions of active large wallets. Nothing here is copied from another site's article, and no language model writes the text — the wording is generated from the numbers by fixed rules.

Is this Qualcomm page investment advice?

No. It is an algorithmic summary of measured market data from Hyperliquid — price moves, positioning, derivatives and our own model. It is not investment advice and past performance does not guarantee future results.
