HYPE: Hyperliquid Retail Traders Long (Sampled)

Included with Plus.

The share of smaller traders on Hyperliquid (open positions under $100,000) holding a coin who are long, from a random sample of accounts every two hours, for the main coins and over all coins.

Why use it. Smaller traders tend to buy dips and fade rallies, and crowd into one side at turning points; their positioning next to the large accounts' shows who is leaning which way. How to read it. Above 50% more of the sampled retail accounts holding the coin are long than short. A very one-sided reading is crowding; compare it with the large accounts in Retail vs Large Accounts. The summary value is all coins.

Calculation. For each coin, long accounts / accounts holding it in the retail sample; all coins counts each account's position in every coin it holds. Every two hours we draw 600 random accounts from each of two account-value bands of Hyperliquid's public leaderboard file ($100 to $10,000 and $10,000 to $100,000) and read their open perpetual positions from Hyperliquid's public account data; accounts whose open positions total under $100,000 are the retail sample. A coin's share is long accounts / accounts holding it, the two bands weighted by how many accounts each has on the leaderboard; a coin needs at least 20 sampled accounts holding it. It is a sample, so expect a few points of noise between runs; the leaderboard is Hyperliquid's selection, not every account. Aggregates only: no account is stored or shown. A period's value is its last run; the open period shows the latest as a labelled partial. History starts on 8 November 2026, when our sampling began; no earlier values are reconstructed.
