Is now the right time to short ETH?
1. Strong bullish sentiment
Ethereum has strengthened ~54% in the last month, moving faster than Bitcoin thanks to the strengthening of stablecoin regulations and widely accepted spot ETFs.
Market momentum is very strong — Although it briefly dropped ~4% due to weak US employment data, ETH still rose 43% in a month; the ATH target (~US$4,865) and the next resistance (~US$4,100) are important benchmarks.
Institutional interest is growing: ETFs—from BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale—are experiencing a surge in interest, adding buying pressure.
High projections: some analysts even target ETH to reach levels of US$7,000–US$8,000 by the end of 2025, with even aggressive predictions up to US$15,000.
2. Potential for short only in certain technical scenarios
If you are considering shorting, the following indicators could serve as signals:
In April 2025, ETH briefly broke through support at US$1,550. Traders are advised to wait for a retest of this level—or to the resistance zone at US$1,510–1,640—before opening a short position.
However, currently, ETH is moving in the range of US$4,200–US$4,300 and consistently rising, making short-term short opportunities increasingly limited and high-risk.
3. Risks and volatility remain high
The crypto market is still very volatile — regulatory factors, whale actions, and market sentiment can trigger drastic changes in a short time.

Conclusion
For now, it is not recommended to aggressively short Ethereum, as the bull momentum is quite strong, supported by regulations, ETFs, and positive market sentiment. If you still consider shorting, it is best to wait for clear technical opportunities—such as a retest of lower resistance levels or credible reversal signals.
