Trader with 26-win streak faces $5.3M loss on Zcash short as price nears liquidation level

A trader on Hyperliquid who had won 26 bets in a row is now $5.3 million underwater on a short position of 15,785 Zcash (ZEC) tokens, with liquidation looming if the price hits $1,317. The trader also holds a short position in 30,000 tokenized Strategy shares, which is down 52%. The combined positions are highly leveraged, with total exposure of $23.34 million against $3.76 million equity. The ZEC price rally, up 134% in 30 days, threatens to liquidate the trader's account, highlighting the risks of high leverage and crowded short trades. The outcome depends on whether ZEC price retraces, squeezes shorts, or if the trader adds collateral to avoid liquidation.
