Let’s say Ethereum revisits its all-time high of $4,891.70 🏔️
Then the tide turns… and the sell-off begins 📉.
$ETH
Now picture this: 150,000 traders open short positions on ETH.
Each trader only puts in $10, but with 50x leverage, they’re effectively controlling $500 per trade.

💰 Total Short Volume:
150,000 × $500 = $75 million in short positions.
But how much impact does that actually have on ETH’s price?

ETH’s market cap at its ATH was roughly $587 billion.

So, $75M worth of short pressure would only move the price by about $0.63 — a microscopic shift.

📉 Estimated Price After Shorts:
$4,891.70 − $0.63 = $4,891.07

Seems tiny, right? But real markets aren’t just math equations.

In reality, fear, liquidations, whale plays, and short squeezes can take over — turning a small dip into a massive plunge. That’s how we end up seeing crashes to levels like $2,100, even when the raw numbers suggest otherwise. 💥

⚠️ Takeaway: Math shows potential — but emotions drive the market.

Always be ready for the unexpected.
