Where smart money is positioned right now
Consensus here means one thing only: of the tracked wallets that hold a market, how many sit on the same side. A cluster counts when at least 65% agree and at least four wallets are involved, so three-of-three can't outrank thirteen-of-sixteen.
| Market | Side | Consensus | Notional | Concentration | Hard liq walls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HYPE | SHORT | 72% (28/39) | $69.8M | 20% | — |
| SP500 (stock) | SHORT | 67% (4/6) | $13.0M | 40% | — |
| SKHY (stock) | SHORT | 67% (6/9) | $9.8M | 47% | — |
| MU (stock) | SHORT | 69% (11/16) | $8.3M | 35% | — |
| NVDA (stock) | SHORT | 80% (8/10) | $6.1M | 43% | $2.6M |
| PUMP | LONG | 70% (7/10) | $3.7M | 47% | $1.4M |
| GOLD (stock) | SHORT | 100% (6/6) | $3.6M | 49% | $2.5M |
| LIT | SHORT | 67% (4/6) | $3.5M | 43% | — |
| SNDK (stock) | SHORT | 75% (6/8) | $3.2M | 90% | $210K |
| BRENTOIL (stock) | LONG | 67% (4/6) | $2.0M | 55% | $1.1M |
| CL (stock) | SHORT | 75% (6/8) | $1.7M | 41% | $128K |
| SOL | LONG | 70% (7/10) | $1.3M | 77% | — |
Concentration is the largest single wallet's share of the cluster. Above 60% it is one bet, not a crowd.
Bitcoin and the majors
Bitcoin is held by 27 tracked wallets right now: 16 long, 11 short, $73.7M on the heavier side. At 59% that falls short of the gate, so there is no BTC consensus to speak of today.
Beyond BTC, HYPE is 72% short across 39 wallets; SOL is 70% long across 10 wallets.
Tokenized stocks: the part nobody else tracks
Hyperliquid's HIP-3 markets put equities, indices and commodities on the same order book as crypto perpetuals. 8 of them are crowded today, 7 leaning short, with Semiconductors the busiest at 4 markets.
| Market | Sector | Side | Consensus | Notional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SP500 | Index | SHORT | 67% | $13.0M |
| SKHY | Semiconductors | SHORT | 67% | $9.8M |
| MU | Semiconductors | SHORT | 69% | $8.3M |
| NVDA | Semiconductors | SHORT | 80% | $6.1M |
| GOLD | Commodity | SHORT | 100% | $3.6M |
| SNDK | Semiconductors | SHORT | 75% | $3.2M |
| BRENTOIL | Commodity | LONG | 67% | $2.0M |
| CL | Commodity | SHORT | 75% | $1.7M |
What this means if you follow wallets
Copy trading follows one wallet. Consensus asks a different question: how many independently profitable wallets landed on the same side. The two disagree more often than people expect, which is why we publish the spread rather than a single call.
Worth noting today — 5 crowded clusters have already run past the cohort's own average entry: SKHY 13.1%, MU 12.1%, PUMP 20.2%, SNDK 7.5%. The crowd is in profit there; a fresh entry is buying a move that already happened.
And 2 clusters are dominated by a single wallet — SNDK at 90%, SOL at 77%. The percentage looks like agreement; the size says otherwise.
Methodology
- Consensus = same-direction wallets ÷ wallets holding that market. Gate: 65% and 4+ wallets.
- Grades are percentile ranks recomputed daily, not fixed thresholds. S = top-quartile 90-day return (currently ≥221%) and at or above the median win rate (≥64%).
- Hard vs soft walls — isolated positions have a liquidation price fixed at entry and are exact; cross positions move with collateral and are indicative only.
- Liquidation and leverage figures are as of 2026-07-27, refreshed daily at 09:05 UTC. Positions are live.
- We publish no backtest, because we don't have one. This is a snapshot of positioning, not a forecast.
