Imagine this — Ethereum hits its All Time High of $4,891.70 🏔️.
But then… the dump begins 📉.
Now, 150,000 traders decide to short ETH.
Each puts in $10 but uses 50x leverage ⚡ — meaning they control $500 each!
💰 Total short power =
150,000 × $500 = $75,000,000 in short positions!
But what does that mean for ETH’s price? 🤔
ETH’s market cap at ATH was around $587 billion.
So, $75M of short pressure is just a tiny fraction — about a $0.63 drop mathematically.
📊 Calculated New Price:
$4,891.70 − $0.63 ≈ $4,891.07.
Sounds small, right? BUT… in real markets, things aren’t that simple 😏.
Short squeezes, panic selling, whale moves 🐋, and cascading liquidations can turn that into a massive dump — even down to $2,100! 💥
⚠️ Moral of the story: Numbers give you an idea… but market emotions write the drama!
