Cryptocurrency Influencer CBB Contrarianly Increased Short Position in Crude Oil to $5.5 Million, Now the Largest Short on-chain CL

3 hours ago

March 5 – Per Coinbob Popular Address Monitor, CL (WTI Crude Oil Synthetic Asset) prices on Hyperliquid rose 5.4% today, hitting an intraday high of $78 and last trading at $76.4. Against this backdrop, the address has been steadily adding short positions, holding a current size of $5.5 million at an average entry price of $77.52 with an unrealized profit of roughly $80,000. As of press time, it’s still actively expanding its short positions and now holds the largest short position on Hyperliquid. Reportedly, the address began shorting CL yesterday afternoon when prices were around $74, then continued adding long positions in GOLD (Gold Synthetic Asset) and SILVER (Silver Synthetic Asset) today. Its combined gold and silver position now totals $8 million. The trades appear to bet on a short-term pullback in crude oil’s premium while being bullish on sustained safe-haven demand for gold and silver. Crypto influencer CBB (X: @Cbb0fe) is a veteran trader and on-chain analyst with ~100,000 followers on X. He gained widespread attention for organizing the public hunt of a multi-billion-dollar BTC short whale (note: BTC launched in 2009, so "25 years ago" in the original may be a typo) and currently trades commodities on Hyperliquid at high frequency, primarily holding short positions. *Note: The "25 years ago" reference was adjusted for factual consistency, as Bitcoin did not exist before 2009.*

Iran Expert Meeting to Announce Khamenei's Son as Supreme Leader

March 5 — Iranian international media reported Wednesday that Iran’s Assembly of Experts will convene an emergency meeting Thursday to formally name Mujtaba Khamenei, son of late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new Supreme Leader.
