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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ETH | SHORT | 66% (27/41) | $199.4M | 45% | — |
| HYPE | SHORT | 66% (51/77) | $103.7M | 23% | $2.0M |
| SILVER (stock) | LONG | 70% (7/10) | $49.7M | 86% | — |
| CBRS (stock) | LONG | 83% (5/6) | $7.1M | 90% | $6.6M |
| BRENTOIL (stock) | SHORT | 67% (6/9) | $6.8M | 83% | — |
| SKHY (stock) | SHORT | 67% (8/12) | $4.7M | 51% | — |
| NVDA (stock) | SHORT | 82% (9/11) | $4.1M | 47% | — |
| AAPL (stock) | LONG | 71% (5/7) | $3.6M | 96% | — |
| AAVE | SHORT | 80% (8/10) | $3.4M | 48% | — |
| MON | SHORT | 82% (9/11) | $3.1M | 45% | — |
| KPEPE | SHORT | 67% (4/6) | $3.0M | 55% | — |
| BNB | SHORT | 80% (4/5) | $2.4M | 48% | — |
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 52 tracked wallets right now: 26 long, 26 short, $21.5M on the heavier side. At 50% that falls short of the gate, so there is no BTC consensus to speak of today.
Beyond BTC, ETH is 66% short across 41 wallets; HYPE is 66% short across 77 wallets; DOGE is 83% long across 6 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. 7 of them are crowded today, 4 leaning short, with Semiconductors the busiest at 3 markets.
| Market | Sector | Side | Consensus | Notional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SILVER | Commodity | LONG | 70% | $49.7M |
| CBRS | Stocks | LONG | 83% | $7.1M |
| BRENTOIL | Commodity | SHORT | 67% | $6.8M |
| SKHY | Semiconductors | SHORT | 67% | $4.7M |
| NVDA | Semiconductors | SHORT | 82% | $4.1M |
| AAPL | Big Tech | LONG | 71% | $3.6M |
| KIOXIA | Semiconductors | SHORT | 71% | $1.0M |
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 — 9 crowded clusters have already run past the cohort's own average entry: ETH 5.1%, CBRS 9.6%, BRENTOIL 10.8%, SKHY 12.4%. The crowd is in profit there; a fresh entry is buying a move that already happened.
And 11 clusters are dominated by a single wallet — SILVER at 86%, CBRS at 90%, BRENTOIL at 83%, AAPL at 96%. 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 ≥471%) and at or above the median win rate (≥52%).
- 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 2026-10-03, 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.
