Hyperliquid whale alerts: what triggers them, settings, whale tracking and Telegram

Updated 19 October 2026 · 8 min read

HyperScan watches Hyperliquid and Lighter around the clock and raises an alert when something worth knowing happens: a whale hits the market with a huge order, whales line up on one side of a coin, a squeeze becomes likely or funding goes extreme. Alerts are free. You can read them on the site, in your account with your own filters, and get them in Telegram.

What triggers an alert

• Anomalous and extreme orders — a market order or a series of them from $1M that takes 1.5%+ of the coin’s 24h volume; from 3% it is extreme.
• Large TWAPs — a slow order from $100K that is 1.5%+ of the coin’s daily volume, or any TWAP from $5M.
• Whale consensus — 90%+ of directional whale money on one side of a coin; a second alert comes when it falls below 85%.
• Squeeze risk — liquidations within reach (from $1M) are larger than the order book in that range.
• Whale transfers — deposits and withdrawals of whales from $3M.
• Extreme funding — a rate of 100%+ a year: one side of the market is crowded and pays heavily.
• Whale near liquidation — a directional whale’s position from $5M within 3% of its liquidation price.

The same alert does not repeat more often than once every 6 hours, so a coin hovering around a threshold does not flood the feed. On Lighter the thresholds are lower: the exchange is about ten times smaller.

The latest alerts right now:

Where alerts appear

• The public feed — all alerts of the last 30 days, with tabs by type.
• The bell in the header counts new alerts.
• Your account feed shows only what you chose in the settings.
• Coin pages mark alerts on the price chart, so you can see what happened before a move.
• Telegram — the same alerts as in your account feed, a few seconds after they appear.

What you can set up

In the notification settings you choose:

• Types — turn each kind of alert on or off.
• Exchanges — Hyperliquid, Lighter or both.
• Markets — crypto, stocks (NVDA, S&P 500, gold, oil on the xyz exchange) or everything.
• My coins — up to 50 coins; market alerts then come only for them.

Tracking whales

Press the star on any whale page or add an address on the tracking page — a Hyperliquid address (0x…) or a Lighter account number — up to 100 wallets. For tracked wallets you get:

• Opens, closes, flips and liquidations of positions;
• Adds and reductions — optional;
• a “large trades only” mode: opens and closes from $50K, adds and reductions from $1M.

Moves of the whales you track come from both exchanges whatever the exchange setting is — you picked these wallets yourself. The tracking page also shows their current positions and latest moves.

Telegram

Open your profile, press “Connect Telegram”, then “Open the bot in Telegram” and Start in the bot — the page updates by itself. From then on every alert from your feed is sent to the chat. This is what it looks like:

Every message ends with hashtags: the coin, the exchange and the category (#orders, #twap, #consensus, #squeeze, #funding, #liquidation, #transfers, #tracked), so in the chat search you can find, say, all funding alerts for BTC. When many alerts arrive at once, they come as one summary instead of a flood of messages. To stop, send /stop to the bot or disconnect it in your profile.
