Analysis suggests this incident is similar to the XPL flash-crash tactic from April 3, and is believed to be market manipulation, although no regulatory body has conducted an official investigation yet. The strategy includes using high-leverage long orders to drive the market upward, followed by large-scale selling that triggers liquidations.

On April 3, the XPL token price saw extreme volatility within a short period, seemingly due to manual manipulation. Five addresses opened high-leverage long positions on Hyperliquid at the same time, and ultimately, after realizing profits of about $1.602 million, they quickly closed their positions. Afterwards, the price plunged, and the accumulated losses of the short positions liquidated by forced selling exceeded $32.99 million. The market showed an overbought warning, and there may be a risk of a pullback in the future.
