🚀 Ether Surges Past $4K, Triggers $105M Short Liquidation

Ether (ETH) saw the largest short wipeout in crypto on Friday, as prices blasted past $4,000 — setting up what analysts say could be a massive short squeeze.

The numbers:

• ~$105M in ETH shorts liquidated (53% of all crypto short liquidations that day)

• ETH hit a high of $4,060, before easing to ~$4,015

• Total ETH liquidations in 24h: $129.16M (CoinGlass)

Trump’s son joins the jab:

Eric Trump posted on X: “Stop betting against BTC and ETH — you will be run over.”

Key level to watch:

• Trader Ash Crypto says $4,100 is major resistance

• A clean breakout could send ETH to $4,400–$4,500 within hours

Bullish sentiment is building:

• Trader Ted: “It’s never been this bullish” — citing rising institutional interest and spot ETH ETF demand

• Spot ETH ETFs have attracted $537M in inflows over the past four days (Farside data)

Big predictions ahead:

• Trader Moustache: ETH could hit $10K+

• Fundstrat’s Tom Lee: ETH may reach $16K, calling this its “Bitcoin 2017 moment”

With growing ETF inflows, surging institutional interest, and the threat of a short squeeze, ETH’s weekend move could be explosive if $4,100 breaks.
