CoinEx News: With the U.S. July Consumer Price Index scheduled for release at 8:30 a.m. ET on August 12, Hyperliquid data showed that four wallets had recently built combined BTC short positions totaling 5,374.9 BTC, worth approximately $342.1 million. Their entry prices ranged from $63,999 to $64,419, with two positions using 40x leverage and two using 20x. The largest—a 1,792.6 BTC short—had a liquidation price near $64,103. The wallets have not been proven to share a common owner.

The timing raises the stakes ahead of the U.S. July Consumer Price Index, with consensus expecting headline inflation to rise 0.1% month over month and 3.4% year over year. A hotter-than-expected reading could strengthen higher-rate expectations and pressure risk assets, while a softer-than-expected print or a BTC break above $64,100–$64,600 could trigger forced covering among the closest short positions.
