HUMA Whale vs Retail Delta

The HUMA whale vs retail delta: the share of top traders' HUMA position that is long minus the share of all accounts that are long, in percentage points. The chart runs back to 2020 on Binance and 2023 on Gate. Below it: where today's reading ranks in the past 30 days and year, and what price did after the year's most extreme readings.

HUMA whales are 8.9 pp more long than retail, the 91st percentile of the past year (Gate top traders' positions 50.0% long vs 41.1% of all accounts). The delta is down 5.4 pp in 24 hours, at the 89th percentile of the past 30 days. In the past year it ranged from -26.0 pp (14 May 2026) to +20.5 pp (3 Nov 2025). After the top 5% of hourly readings (above +10.9 pp), HUMA was higher 7 days later 66% of the time, median +4.6%, over 369 readings on 45 days. That describes the past and is not a trading signal.

What HUMA did after extreme readings

8757 hourly readings in the past year
Readings Hours (days) 24h median 24h hit rate 7d median 7d hit rate
Top 5%: whales most long vs retail 438 (45) -0.5% n=410 45% +4.6% n=369 66%
Bottom 5%: whales least long vs retail 438 (56) -0.1% n=438 51% -4.1% n=438 55%

Top 5%: readings of +10.9 pp or more; bottom 5%: -13.4 pp or less. A hit is a rise after the top 5% (whales leaned long) and a fall after the bottom 5%. For comparison, across every hourly reading HUMA was higher 24 hours later 49% of the time (median -0.2%, n=8719) and 7 days later 51% (median +0.1%). Prices: Binance spot HUMA/USDT, hourly closes where this site recorded them, else daily closes. Readings cluster in episodes, so the samples overlap and are smaller than they look. This describes the past; it is not a trading signal and not financial advice.

How to read it. The delta is the share of top traders' HUMA position that is long minus the share of all accounts that are long, in percentage points. Retail accounts usually lean long, so the delta sits below zero much of the time; what matters is where it stands against its own history. The chart shows Binance and Gate separately.

HUMA whale vs retail FAQ

What is the HUMA whale vs retail delta?

The share of HUMA's top traders' combined position that is long, minus the share of all accounts with a HUMA position that are long, in percentage points. Top traders are Binance's top 20% of futures users by margin balance, weighted by position size; the accounts ratio counts every account once.

How is the "after extremes" table built?

We take the hourly readings of the past year, keep the highest 5% and the lowest 5%, and compare HUMA's Binance spot price at each reading with the price 24 hours and 7 days later: from hourly closes where this site has them, else from daily closes. The hit rate is how often price moved the way the whales leaned (up after the top 5%, down after the bottom 5%). Readings bunch together in episodes, so the number of distinct days is shown too.

Is it a trading signal?

No. The table describes what happened after past readings, before fees and funding, and a year holds only a handful of episodes. Nothing here is financial advice.
